I don't think you understood me. I think your only option is to make your MSP's uninstallable in this case as there's no other behaviour that will allow your MSP's to be uninstallable but not affect the shared files.
This effectively means users can't downgrade once they've upgraded using the MSP but personally that wouldn't be a problem for me as any user wishing to downgrade can always uninstall the current version & reinstall the old one using the MSI.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSP uninstall issue related to update shared files Bob, msidbComponentAttributesShared was supported by Installer 4.5 and newer. But Windows installer 3.0 is the minimum requirement for our setups. Is there any other way to support it?

My questions is: Is there a way to make those updated shared files not roll back to previous version if any of A_sp1.msp or B_sp1.msp is not uninstalled? See the MSI SDK for msidbComponentAttributesShared. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
