Move RemoveExistingProducts to before InstallInitialize. When it's before InstallFinalize, it won't remove everything first - it installs the new product on top then removes anything that wasn't in the new installer.

Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade and Shortcut names I'm having a problem when performing an upgrade and the shortcut name has changed. I have scheduled RemoveExistingProducts to before InstallFinalize. In the upgrade install I have changed the names of the shortcuts. The problem is when I do the upgrade the old shortcuts are not removed, but the new ones are added. If I do an uninstall first then it works just fine. How can I force the component (which only containes the shortcuts) to re removed and reinstalled when performing an upgrade? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
