[WiX-users] Remove existing products is removing almost all files during Major Upgrade

[Pamela Alvarez]

Hi All,

This is the issue.. I'm developing a product that releases versions 
every month and each of these releases can be used as a major upgrade. 
For the Major Upgrade I've scheduled the RemoveExistingProducts action 
after InstallFinalize and it worked for a while.. but then one day 
without any change in the code a bunch of files started  being deleted 
and my installation end up with just the 10% of the files that were 
supposed to be in my installation path.

At first my RemoveExistingProducts action was schedule after 
InstallValidate Action but we starting to have issues with the merge 
modules of the VCRedist9.0 and our services failed to start so we did 
the change and the Services stopped having the issue.

If I move the action to be after InstallValidate again all the files get 
in place correctly but the services start to fail. I can't seem to make 
one work without ruin the other.

I really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
PameAlex

Thanks Ari,

After your reply a reviewed with Orca the GUIDs of my components and 
find out that, since the version the issue started 80% of the GUIDs were 
changed I changed back to the original values and the Upgrade worked 
just fine.

You're answer was exactly what I needed :)

[WiX-users] Component condition ignored during Upgrade

[Pamela Alvarez]

Hi Guys,

I really need some help!. I made 3 installers (1.0.1.0 - v1, 1.0.2.0 
-v2, 1.0.3.0 -v3) each is a full installer and also a major upgrade of 
the previous installer.

As part of my installation I add a virtual Directory for IIS5 and IIS6 
as a part of a component(Comp_VirtualDir) and an appPool for IIS6 as 
part of another component(Comp_WebAppPool). I need to get them installed 
the first time but don't get uninstall during the upgrade and neither 
get installed (again) as a part of the installation of the second 
installer; and I got this to work  by adding the following condition to 
the component:
Condition($(var.IIS5) Or $(var.IIS6)) And ((Installed And Not 
UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE)Or(Not Installed And Not OLDAPPFOUND))/Condition

but I have a really weird issue, everything is done as I want if I 
installed  v3 over v2 over v1, but if I install v3 over v2 the the v3 
installer uninstalls my component erasing my virtual directory  but 
leaves the component that installs the appPool, and I really don't 
understand how this can happen.

in the installation log of the v3 (in the case where v3 over v2 over v1) 
I've got:

   Component: Comp_VirtualDir; Installed: Local;   Request: Absent; 
Action: Null
   Component: Comp_WebAppPool; Installed: Local;   Request: Absent; 
Action: Null

but in the installation of the other case I've got:

   Component: Comp_VirtualDir; Installed: Local;   Request: Absent; 
Action: Absent
   Component: Comp_WebAppPool; Installed: Local;   Request: Absent; 
Action: Null

I really appreciate any help that you could given to me, because I ran 
out of ideas.

Thanks,
Tammy
