I have the same issue as described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15138731/wix-major-upgrade-not-installing-all-files
After a major upgrade a few files are missing. After a repair, they
reapper, and with a clean install, they are also correctly installed.
The log contains
Disallowing installation of component: {GUID-OF-COMPONENT} since the same
component with higher versioned keyfile exists
The remove is currently scheduled as afterInstallInitialize.
To make sure that all files are really updated, I use this pattern for
each file:
<Component Directory="APPLICATIONFOLDER" Permanent="no" Guid="
c88f271e-6225-47a0-b3d7-a2ed7e8b3603" Id="
CotEm3PsKG0Qw7tmSelwF4HoqeWDPAs_IPcvyLhIKa94">
<File Id="file1DGrKlnB0IDTi2JXC4XTtVRF3c.Y0zf2f8M9I9hdGpk"
Source="#source#" />
<RemoveFile Id='
removeFile1DGrKlnB0IDTi2JXC4XTtVRF3c.Y0zf2f8M9I9hdGpk' On='install' Name='
#name#'/>
</Component>
Basically I want to just write all files contained in the MSI to disk,
overwriting all existing files.
Guids and IDs are generated by System.Guid.NewGuid(), so the component
rules are totally violated and I can't just change the scheduling of
removeExisting.
What are my options to solve the issue?
I know I could use a stable ID/Guid generation algorithm (I could probably
just use the one provided by Wix) so that the component rules are no
longer violated and schedule it afterInstallExecute (or Finalize), but I
would like to keep the current sequence where it is first uninstalled and
then cleanly reinstalled.
Thank you,
Lukas
