I'm assuming that the demo images are not managed (they are not versioned and you don't care much about updating them in the future and you don't care if you can't repair them if they are changed/deleted outside of the installer)?
In your larger installer, make the GUIDs of each component installing the demo images blank, and add one or more RemoveFile elements with a wildcard to remove the demo images in a different component (one that exists in both original MSIs). Then your version 2 can remove the images when it is removed. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Vogel [mailto:dvo...@icrcompany.com] Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 1:49 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] installing updates, but not removing all files from previous version. I have two installers for my application. The only difference between the two is that one includes a directory of demo images, the other does not. The installer with the demo images is large, so the second installer was created since not all customers will need the images. My employer wants to also use installer #2 (no images) as an updater for those who originally got installer #1 (with images). My problem is this; when #2 is used, the demo image directory is deleted. I can't figure out how to update all other files, but keep this demo image directory. Since #2 will be used for both first time installs and updates, it can't just be a patch. please help. -- *Dan Vogel* Software Engineer iCRco - The Innovative CR Company P) 310-921-9559 F) 310-542-7236 dvo...@icrcompany.com <mailto:dvo...@icrcompany.com> http://www.icrcompany.com iCRco logo This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
