Peter, I own you one!
MigrateFeatures did the trick.

However I need to explicitly set it to Yes, although I am doing major
upgrade.

    <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.RTMVersion)"
                    IncludeMinimum="yes"
                    Maximum="$(var.CurrentVersion)"
                    IncludeMaximum="no"
                    Language="1033"
                    Property="UPGRADEFOUND" 
                    MigrateFeatures="yes" />

Removing MigrateFeatures attribute does not enable this behavior by default.
Is this expected?

Thanks a lot!
Martin

In the upgrade installer, set UpgradeVersion/@MigrateFeatures="yes"

If you use MajorUpgrade, migrate features is the default.

Hi,

 

I am sure this is a commonly asked question, but I cannot find any resource
explaining this.

 

Scenario:

User has installed the product and changes the default selected features to
install.

During major upgrade the installer fails to remember what features user has
selected to install at first place and installs all features as specified by
default in the MSI.

Question:

How should one keep user selected features between major upgrades?

 

Thank you!
