Hi Jacob, Thank you for your inputs. When you say Custom BA do you mean in the bootstrapper? The WIX upgrade functionality does the following am assuming automatically for us:
--Uninstall the previous version(files and registry keys) --Use the upgrading property to run our custom actions during upgrade only. --Any other goodies you think I will be missing? --Pavan -----Original Message----- From: Hoover, Jacob [mailto:jacob.hoo...@greenheck.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2014 2:27 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade and side by side with the same installer Best I could think is to use Burn and make each install able to side by side install, and conditionally remove the old copy based on user input inside a custom BA.. You'd lose the major upgrade goodies of Windows Installer, but it should work. -----Original Message----- From: Pavan Konduru [mailto:pavan.kond...@accelrys.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2014 3:04 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. (wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade and side by side with the same installer Hi All, Is it possible to create an installer that would do an upgrade or side-by-side based on the user input? Say we have 1.0 installed. When the user runs a version 2.0 of the same product, give him a choice to either upgrade the existing or install as a side by side. Is it a good architecture to even allow this? --Pavan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
