Hi - I would greatly appreciate any help in understanding the timing of when I have access to the original or updated version of files installed during a patch install, uninstall and rollback sequences of both.
The Install process seem fairly straight forward. I have availability of the old files before the InstallFiles sequence and the new ones afterwards. However when a rollback occurs I am not sure at what point I have access to the newly installed files and the original files before the patch was applied? Can I schedule something to have access to both the current and previous versions? The Uninstall of the patch seems even a little more confusing since it appears that the previous files are restored before I can get a custom action to run. But once a rollback occurs do I have access to the current or previous versions? The following example is what I am trying to work out. I am installing both SSRS & SQL content on a server and need to handle both the Installation and Un-installation of a patch as well as handling a rollback occurring during either. The Desired Action column shows what I want to happen I just need to know when I have availability to the desired version so I can call the appropriate CA to perform the action. Assuming: Base Install - puts V1 of files on server Patch1 - puts V2 of files on server Install Operation Schedule Desired Action Install Patch1 After InstallFiles Run CA to put V2 reports on server Run InstallV2.sql Rollback occurs during Install Patch1 ? Run CA to put V1 reports on server Run Uninstall V2.sql Run InstallV1.sql Remove Patch1 ? Run CA to put V1 reports on server Run Uninstall V2.sql Run InstallV1.sql Rollback occurs during Remove Patch1 ? Run CA to put V2 reports on server Run InstallV2.sql Thanks - Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
