Blair, as always, thanks for your replies! Unfortunately, this time I came
up empty :(.
I did the following but still ended up with a duplicate of my applications
installed in Add/Remove Programs after the Installer finished:
- I modified my upgrade element as follows:
=========================
<Upgrade Id="0b872586-4c12-4848-b1dd-680009759b5f">
<UpgradeVersion
OnlyDetect="yes"
Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED"
Minimum="0.0.0.0"
IncludeMinimum="yes"
Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)"
IncludeMaximum="no" />
<UpgradeVersion
OnlyDetect="no"
Property="SELFFOUND"
Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)"
IncludeMinimum="yes"
Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)"
IncludeMaximum="yes" />
<UpgradeVersion
OnlyDetect="no"
Property="NEWERFOUND"
Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)"
IncludeMinimum="no" />
</Upgrade>
=========================
- I generated a new GUID for my PRODUCT Id.
- I incremented my ProductVersion from 2.9.0 to 2.10.0
- I uninstalled all versions via Add/Remove Programs
- I installed the 2.9.0 package
- I installed the 2.10.0 package.
- I checked out Add/Remove Programs, and saw both versions installed
I made the PREVIOUSVERSIONINSTALLED element my OnlyDetect="no" as it is the
one that should be uninstalled when encountered. I guess so should the same
version, but if that happens, you should get the remove/repair dialog
instead, right?
Anything else I could have missed?
