"NOT REMOVE=ALL"? If you replace one feature with another (REMOVE=FeatureToRemove ADDLOCAL=FeatureToAdd) you will still need the property set.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ARPINSTALLLOCATION and patch Actually, the current condition is "NOT Installed". I am planning to make it "NOT REMOVE". Should it fix the problem? -----Original Message----- From: Wilson, Phil [mailto:phil.wil...@invensys.com] Sent: Friday, February 19, 2010 2:07 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ARPINSTALLLOCATION and patch If you are setting ARPINSTALLLOCATION with a custom action (type 51 usually), you might need a condition on it if it's unconditionally setting ARPINSTALLLOCATION to a value that is not recomputed at patch time. You'd only set it if "Not Installed". I've also seen people write a small custom action to get the install location using the Msi APIs and set the source (TARGETDIR?) when the product is already installed. Sometimes that's necessary for other custom actions that need to know the install directory during a patch as well as during a fresh install.

Subject: [WiX-users] ARPINSTALLLOCATION and patch We use ARPINSTALLLOCATION to set InstallLocation in uninstall key. We just ran into an issue where applying a patch clears out InstallLocation. Is there something special we need to do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
