Normally those are checked by your bootstrapper that sets the REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE values on the commandline. If your bootstrapper doesn't check versions you will need to write that yourself.
Question: What use case do you have for using minor upgrades? Is it for supporting patching? -----Original Message----- From: CP YEH [mailto:ntde...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 11:08 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] minor upgrade - how to check installed program version? Hi, I have created setup msi and it works fine. Then, I created minor upgrade msi and I would like to check what version of my program is installed on the machine to see if I should proceed to install. I added some code as follows. <Upgrade Id="fea8ad46-55f2-481a-8735-cbd721ccb3ec"> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes" Property="SELFFOUND" Minimum="1.0.1" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="1.0.1" IncludeMaximum="yes" /> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='NEWERFOUND' Minimum='1.0.2' IncludeMinimum='no' /> </Upgrade> <CustomAction Id='AlreadyUpdated' Error='[ProductName] is already installed.' /> <CustomAction Id='NoDowngrade' Error='A later version of [ProductName] is already installed.' /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="NoDowngrade" After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWERFOUND</Custom> <Custom Action="AlreadyUpdated" After="FindRelatedProducts">SELFFOUND</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> But looking at the logs I found that actions are skipped because I am running this msi in maintenance mode and thus, FindRelatedProducts action is skipped. So I am wondering how I can cause msi to run my custom actions to check versions. Please let me know if anyone dealt with this issue before. Thanks.
