The company I work with has a utility tool for translating incoming data in the HL7 format into DB operations. We used to support two applications, which means our program was named "HL7 for Product X and Product Y". For the next release, we're only supporting Product X, so we want to rename the package which gets installed as well as update the DB calls. The person who built the installer also had an incorrect value for the Manufacturer, so that will change as well. I set it up as a Major upgrade, using the same Update Code GUID for each, because we want the old service to get uninstalled.
I attempted to follow the steps in http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/updates/major_upgrade.html and http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/upgrades-and-modularization/checking-for-oldies, but it's not working. The old package is not being removed at all, resulting in both of them being present. Is this because the Name and Manufacturer were changed? I've tried matching them up, but I'm getting the same result. I'm compiling this using the 3.7 version of the libraries if that makes a difference. FWIW, this is the MajorUpgrade code I'm using: <MajorUpgrade AllowDowngrades="no" DowngradeErrorMessage="Cannot downgrade versions." AllowSameVersionUpgrades="no" /> -- Sean Duggan sean.dug...@gmail.com "*It's easy to win forgiveness for being wrong; being right is what gets you into real trouble.*" -Bjarne Stroustrup ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
