Hi, Can someone explain how to achieve this?
We have a Major Upgrade task which seemed to work with early schedulling of RemoveExistingProducts. But it started failing due to a bug in MSI where an assembly was being placed in GAC and used duing installation for a custom action. During upgrade the assembly was getting deleted and later it it did not get copied. So, REM was scheduled later (Between InstallExecute and InstallFinalize). Now it started failing because some of the unversioned files did not get updated and installed application started failing due to lack of correct config information. I tried writing a custom action to move these files to a temp location (I can have the CA delete these files but it would be best to keep them around for a rollback scenario) and sceduled it before InstallFiles. Custom action works well but even when install log says that file is to be installed it does not get installed. Is it incorrect to schedule the custom action before InstallFiles? Where does it need to be scheduled? Is there a better way to ensure file copy success? Installshield seems to have an attribute of alwaysoverwrite but WIX doesn't seem to have it.
