Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade nightmare again
Basically you make them elevated by marking them deferred and sequencing them between InstallInitialize and InstallFinalize.

But On Vista and Windows 7 it doesn't because that requires elevation.

Re: [WiX-users] upgrade nightmare
I'm guessing you want to avoid passing the REINSTALLMODE to the bootstrapper, correct? My solution to the same problem (thanks to the help of others on this list) was to use * as the product code, and define every upgrade to be a major one. There is a way to distribute a bootstrapper with automated command line, but the problem with setting the REINSTALL flag all the time on an existing install is that on a clean install, nothing will happen. If you want to go that route though, check out 7zip, and create an SFX with the optional installer components. This will make a self-extracting zip file that auto extracts, runs an exe with your parameters, and then deletes the temp files. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adriaan Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 2:52 AM To: Some user; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] upgrade nightmare You should change the ProductCode as well. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Some user Sent: 30 March 2007 07:40 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] upgrade nightmare the problem is that requiring commandline parameters or bootstrapper is unacceptable for us, we have seen that our users are too stupid to type a commandline (!?) so I have been told toto make a thing that can do installs and updates on the same package without requiring any commandline parameters or bootstrapper.the only way I have worked out so far is to have a fixed package ID.

You can do that with a mix of approaches. But unless your product is huge or takes a long time to install, I'd suggest using major upgrades. That lets v1.20 upgrade v1.0, v1.0.1, v1.10, etc. You can do it with patches and minor upgrades but there's additional overhead. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
