Hi
I made a mistake when I copied the "FindRelatedProducts" in my initial email.
Here is the correct text from the verbose log (we see the property
WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED being correctly set to my initial installed product GUID)
Action start 16:44:52: FindRelatedProducts.
FindRelatedProducts: Found application: {C0C6FEAB-9024-481E-BB4F-7A54EC0BA765}
MSI (c) (38:4C) [16:44:52:289]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED
property. Its value is '{C0C6FEAB-9024-481E-BB4F-7A54EC0BA765}'.
MSI (c) (38:4C) [16:44:52:289]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MIGRATE property. Its
value is '{C0C6FEAB-9024-481E-BB4F-7A54EC0BA765}'.
Action ended 16:44:52: FindRelatedProducts. Return value 1.
Thanks.

Hello
I have a couple of problems with my installer on a major upgrade. I'm using Wix
3.5.
My installer has 2 features and I use the MajorUpgrade element available with
Wix 3.5 to do my major upgrade.
Here is what I did:
Product Code and version changed within the new installer.
As I use "MajorUpgrade" element, I removed my explicit declaration of
RemovedExistingProducts as "MajorUpgrade" seems it schedules it. From the
documentation, I understand "MajorUpgrade" schedules also MigrateFeatureStates
and this is good as I want to take advantage of this MSI feature (more below).
ALLUSERS property is set to 1 in both installers.
Here is what I get:
Install the first version of the product which installs fine; then launch the
installer for the newer version to perform an upgrade.
I do a verbose log and I get a
couple of strange things:
Action 15:29:09: FindRelatedProducts. Searching for related applications
Action start 15:29:09: FindRelatedProducts.
FindRelatedProducts: Found application: {C0C6FEAB-9024-481E-BB4F-7A54EC0BA765}
MSI (c) (C8:A0) [15:29:09:708]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding PREVFOUND property. Its

Action ended 15:29:09: FindRelatedProducts. Return value 1.

Plenty of
Disallowing installation of component: {83D1BFA5-5703-43F2-AB56-BB0630B8E921}
since the same component with higher versioned keyfile exists
...
My 2 features are absent from the installation
MSI (s) (5C:FC) [15:29:23:721]: Feature: FullInstallation; Installed: Absent;
Request: Null; Action: Null
MSI (s) (5C:FC) [15:29:23:721]: Feature: DcServer; Installed: Absent;
Request: Null; Action: Null
This explains why no upgrade is done, the question is why they are absent? I
select them through a UI which changed like below compared to the previous
version of my installer:
Old version:
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action="FillingListBox" After="CostFinalize" />
</InstallUISequence>
New version:
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action="FillingListBox" After="MigrateFeatureStates" />
</InstallUISequence>
Nothing is removed like for a major upgrade (and it says this is maintainance
or uninstall):
MSI (s) (5C:FC) [15:29:23:736]: Doing action: RemoveExistingProducts
Action 15:29:23: RemoveExistingProducts. Removing applications
Action start 15:29:23: RemoveExistingProducts.
MSI (s) (5C:FC) [15:29:23:736]: Skipping RemoveExistingProducts action: current
configuration
is maintenance mode or an uninstall
Action ended 15:29:23: RemoveExistingProducts. Return value 0.
So it looks like MigrateFeatureStates doesn't detect the feature state of the
current installation to set it for the new version of the installer.
Here is the Upgrade table for the initial installer:
Upgrade code Version
Attributes ActionProperty
{CB09E96B-19D6-439C-9A40-68143559032A} 6.6.0 258
NEWERFOUND
{64EF24E1-8FC8-44C0-B9AD-981D638B4596} 6.5.0 6.6.0 256
PREVFOUND
And here is the Upgrade table for the new installer:
{CB09E96B-19D6-439C-9A40-68143559032A} 6.7.0 1 WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED
{CB09E96B-19D6-439C-9A40-68143559032A} 6.7.0 2 WIX_DOWNGRADE_DETECTED
Anyone has an idea what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
