In the context of the bootstrapper chain rollback event the individual MSI MajorUpgrade Schedule element is irrelevant since this only comes into play when rolling back 1 MSI. In my case a.msi has been upgraded successfully therefore the old existing product is removed. Then when b.msi fails a.msi is simply uninstalled.
If only there was a MajorUpgrade Schedule element for a bootstrapper bundle, then I would have something to tinker with. However I would like to note that I have tried all 5 scheduled cases inside a.msi and b.msi just to confirm my findings... <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version is already installed." Schedule="afterInstallValidate" /> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version is already installed." Schedule="afterInstallInitialize" /> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version is already installed." Schedule="afterInstallExecute" /> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version is already installed." Schedule="afterInstallExecuteAgain" /> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version is already installed." Schedule="afterInstallFinalize" /> -----Original Message----- From: Nick Ramirez [mailto:nickra...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 9:36 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper multiple MSI’s don’t rollback to a working installed state How is the MajorUpgrade element scheduled in your MSI? By default it is "afterInstallValidate", which does not bring back the old version if there is a rollback.
