Classification: Public Sounds like a MajorUpgrade... Removes the older version, installs the new version...
Steve -----Original Message----- From: Hans ter Horst [mailto:hoshis...@gmail.com] Sent: April-17-13 3:14 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Tutorial about handling upgrades in Wix 3.7 Is there a tutorial or a reference post available that explains the principles of how to write an installer that first uninstalls an older version before installing the version included in the MSI but that would leave newer versions unaffected unless a FORCE parameter is supplied on the interface? Google search results are clouded by questions about upgrading Wix itself and any other answer seems to be from people guessing and second guessing like I've been doing today. Thanks!
