We made a MSI installer with WIX. It installs some files into a directory created in 'Program Files', and all works fine. However, if I change (with a text editor) a file that has been installed and then attempt to repair the product, the file is not repaired, i.e. it is not replaced by an original version provided in MSI.
Then I went through the below link, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759262%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?ppud=4#BKMK_Repair It shows the command line options as /fa to do this and it works. How can I implement it in my WXS file. Below is my code for upgrade, <Upgrade Id="$(var.ProductUpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)" OnlyDetect="yes" Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED"/> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="0.0.0" Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)" IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no" Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED"/> </Upgrade> <Condition Message="A newer version of this software is already installed.">NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED</Condition> On repair we would like to replace all the files in the folder with the one in MSI. Thanks, Nikhil. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
