I am trying to create a bundle to install an msi that does not support upgrades, but no warning is shown to the user. If I try to run the msi by hand, I see the error "Another version of ... ", but running the bundle just shows a random guid for the msi is being processed, the bundle completes without error, and the application remains at it's previous version.
How can I alert the user, or better ... uninstall the previous version before installing the new one? There is nothing I can easily search for in the registry, as the msi uses a random guid for each revision. While the upgrade code remains the same, I searched the registry and did not find neither hide nor hair of it. If I am to detect the previous installed version I need a way to find the current installation. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; > <Bundle Name="$(var.MyInstallerName)" Version="$(var.BundleVersion)" Manufacturer="$(var.MyCompanyName)" Copyright="(c) All rights reserved."
