If no modifications to the config files have been made since they have been installed, they will be deleted with your upgrade scheduling before the upgrade install.
You can: 1) tweak the timestamp on the config file(s) so they are preserved; or 2) have a custom action read the file data to be preserved early in the upgrade process and then use that data, stored in properties, to reconstruct the config files during the install of the upgraded product. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Arvind Janghel [mailto:arvind.jang...@citiustech.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 6:07 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] WIX : Upgrade Issue Hi, I have implemented major upgrade support in my application installer . As part of upgrade, there are C# custom actions to backup and restore config files, and also update the database. I have scheduled the RemoveExistingProducts after "installinitialize". However the restore configuration fails, with a FileNotFoundException and the log file suggests that one of the configuration files is not found. The Restore configuration is scheduled after installfiles and before installfinalize, hence I wonder as to why the exception occura. Also I tried changing the custom action, and also removing failing custom actions, but seems that the upgrade is using "Cached" version of the installer, since the log file contains log information of removed custom action Any pointers what could be reason behind failing custom action and why the cached installer is getting triggered?
