Hi, I'm trying to do a major upgrade of a product which was installed per-user but which installed files into ProgramFilesFolder. The previous installer was authored using the Visual Studio Deployment project and defaulted to a perUser installation (with the option of installing perMachine) - but when Windows Installer tries to copy files, an elevation prompt is displayed and installation allowed to continue. I've tried to do something similar with the new installer which is written using WiX 3.5 but I just get a permission denied error if I try and do a perUser installation which installs to ProgramFilesFolder - as I know I should do! As far as I know I can't make the new MSI perMachine because FindRelatedProducts doesn't work between perUser and perMachine packages.
In case it matters I'm scheduling the upgrade after InstallExecute so that certain files aren't deleted, which would happen if the previous installation was uninstalled first. Is there a way to make the upgrade work? -- Bruce Cran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
