I want to install my first major upgrade. The older product MSI
version 1.05.02 has been build with InstallShield. Let's say the
UpgradeCode of the old product is
11111111-2222-3333-55555-6666666666666.
My new installer has the same UpgradeCode as the old product version.
<?define CurrentVersion="1.06.00"?>
<Product Id="*" Language="1033" Version="$(var.CurrentVersion)"
UpgradeCode="11111111-2222-3333-55555-6666666666666">
The upgrade should be determined by the following fragment, that is
based on the WiX book of Nick Ramirez:
<Upgrade Id="11111111-2222-3333-55555-6666666666666">
<UpgradeVersion Property="OLD_VERSION_FOUND"
Minimum="1.0.0.0" Maximum="$(var.CurrentVersion)"
IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no"
OnlyDetect="no" Language="1033" IgnoreRemoveFailure="yes"
MigrateFeatures="yes" />
<UpgradeVersion Property="NEWER_VERSION_FOUND"
Minimum="$(var.CurrentVersion)" IncludeMinimum="no" OnlyDetect="yes"
Language="1033" />
</Upgrade>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
I have checked that the UpgradeCode and the Language match with the
former product version. When I install the new MSI does not remove the
existing product. When running msiexec with /l*v I get this log
(excerpt):
Action ended 15:51:41: InstallValidate. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (E0:DC) [15:51:41:910]: Doing action: RemoveExistingProducts
Action 15:51:41: RemoveExistingProducts. Removing applications
Action start 15:51:41: RemoveExistingProducts.
Action ended 15:51:41: RemoveExistingProducts. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (E0:DC) [15:51:41:912]: Doing action: InstallInitialize
Action 15:51:41: InstallInitialize.
Action start 15:51:41: InstallInitialize.
AFAIK the return value 1 of RemoveExistingProducts indicates an error.
But I don't know what error.
The new files are installed, but I still see the old version of the
product in the Programs and Features. When I uninstall the old MSI the
product is removed.
How do I find the failure for the RemoveExistingProducts action? How
do I fix my setup wxs?

Helge
