Experimenting a bit. Installing a newer version bundle over an older one causes the old bundle entry in Add/Remove Programs to be overwritten with the new one, such as going from bundle version 1.0.0.0 to 1.1.0.0. In the end I only get one entry. The MSI that's packaged gets a major upgrade. (I assume changing the bundle's version means replace every package in the chain?)
If I set up a major upgrade at the MSI level--changing the Product's Id and Version, but do not change the bundle's version, the MSI's files get replaced with the newer ones. I get two entries in Add/Remove Programs for the bundle. Both at version 1.0.0.0. Both have to be uninstalled before the MSI's files are removed. (I take this to mean a major upgrade of the bundle did not kick in because one version was not higher than the other. So WiX has no choice but to leave both bundles installed?) I'm wondering, if I wanted to have one entry in Add/Remove Programs, but do a major upgrade to only one MSI package in a chain that had, say, five MSI's. Is that possible? Will Burn upgrade just the one MSI, but not create a second entry in Add/Remove Programs? Or do you have to change the bundle version, which I'm guessing would uninstall and reinstall all packages in the chain? (I could be wrong about that) -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/The-bundle-s-version-tp7580785p7580878.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
