Okay! I have finally more closely identified the problem I'm having. In my
installer, I was attempting to get a settings file to REMAIN INTACT on a
major upgrade. I finally got this to work with the suggestion to set
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
This is successful in forcing this component to leave the original, not
replacing it if it exists:
<Component Id="Settings" Guid="A3513208-4F12-4496-B609-197812B4A953"
NeverOverwrite="yes">
<File Id="settingsXml" KeyPath="yes"
ShortName="SETTINGS.XML"
Name="Settings.xml" DiskId="1"
Source="\\fileserver\Release\Pathways\Dependencies\Settings\settings.xml"
Vital="yes" />
</Component>
HOWEVER! This is a problem! I have another component listed here:
<Component Id="Database"
Guid="1D8756EF-FD6C-49BC-8400-299492E8C65D"
KeyPath="yes">
<File Id="pathwaysMdf" Name="Pathways.mdf"
DiskId="1"
Source="\\fileserver\Shared\Databases\Pathways\SystemDBs\Pathways.mdf"
Vital="yes"/>
<File Id="pathwaysLdf" Name="Pathways_log.ldf"
DiskId="1"
Source="\\fileserver\Shared\Databases\Pathways\SystemDBs\Pathways.ldf"
Vital="yes"/>
</Component>
And this component MUST BE REPLACED on a major upgrade. I can only
accomplish this so far by setting <RemoveExistingProducts
After="InstallInitialize" />
THIS BREAKS THE FIRST FUNCTIONALITY I NEED WITH THE SETTINGS FILE.
HOW CAN I DO BOTH?!
