My WiX installer removes the VC10 redistributable merge modules on upgrade. It unpublishes the MMs but does not reinstall them (and yes, my RemoveExistingProducts action occurs AFTER InstallInitialize). I'm hoping someone on this list can assist me in figuring out the issue. Here is my WiX script and here is a link to a verbose MSI log (https://gist.github.com/1607604). Thanks!

Because I, akutz, farked up and did not put each file into an individual component, same version upgrades, which also allow downgrades, do not work correctly. This is because each component is not tied to a single file entry, and thus the file versions/dates do not get compared correctly - the file versioning rules (http://bit.ly/hIpqg2). To remedy the situation I am using a custom action, ExitEarlyWithSuccess, to exit the installer early if a key file has a verion that is greater than the version to be installed. This means a later version of the MSI is already installed. Also, there is a custom action defined as part of the InstallExecuteSequence that will invoke the ExitEarlyWithSuccess acution if this product is not installed and there is a new file version detected. --> <!-- CUSTOM ACTIONS --> <CustomActionRef Id="WixExitEarlyWithSuccess"/> <CustomAction Id="ExitEarlyWithSuccess" VBScriptCall="Main" Property="ExitEarlyWithSuccessScript" /> <CustomAction Id="CopyMsiToInstallDir" Script="vbscript"> <![CDATA[ msiFile = Session.Property("OriginalDatabase") installDir = Session.Property("LACFEATUREDIR") Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fso.CopyFile msiFile, installDir ]]> </CustomAction> <!-- INSTALL SEQUENCES --> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="ExitEarlyWithSuccess" After="InstallInitialize">NOT Installed AND NEWERFILEVERSIONDETECTED</Custom> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize" /> <Custom Action="CopyMsiToInstallDir" After="InstallFinalize">Not Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <!-- MEDIA --> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="media.cab" CompressionLevel="none" EmbedCab="yes" /> <!-- PROPERTIES --> <Property Id="LACFEATUREDIR"> <RegistrySearch Id="EmcVsiVSphere4LacDir" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\$(var.EmcShort)\$(var.VsiLong)\vSphere4" Type="directory" Name="LacPath" /> </Property> <Property Id="ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT" Value="1" /> <Property Id="ALLUSERS" Value="1" /> <Property Id="ExitEarlyWithSuccessScript"> <![CDATA[ Function Main() Main = 5 End Function ]]> </Property> <Property Id="NEWERFILEVERSIONDETECTED"> <DirectorySearch Id="NewerFileVersionDirSearch" Path="[LACFEATUREDIR]"> <FileSearch Name="EMC.VSI.VSphere4.Features.SPO.Common.dll" MinVersion="$(var.Version4)"/> </DirectorySearch> </Property> <!-- INSTALL CONDITIONS --> <Condition Message="$(var.VsiForVSphereRequiredConditionMessage)"> Installed OR LACFEATUREDIR </Condition> <!-- DIRECTORY STRUCTURE --> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="LACFEATUREDIR" /> </Directory> <!-- APPLICATION FILES --> <DirectoryRef Id="LACFEATUREDIR"> <Component Id="ApplicationFiles" Guid="4A95A3AF-C64E-4011-80AE-CF9B659AEA93"> <File Source="$(var.BuildOutput)\EMC.VSI.VSphere4.Features.SPO.Common.dll" /> <File Source="$(var.PowerPathWrapperPath)\PowerPathWrapper.dll" /> <File Source="$(var.SEWrapperPath)\SEWrapper.dll" /> <?ifdef $(var.DEBUG) ?> <File Source="$(var.BuildOutput)\EMC.VSI.VSphere4.Features.SPO.Common.pdb" /> <File Source="$(var.PowerPathWrapperPath)\PowerPathWrapper.pdb" /> <File Source="$(var.SEWrapperPath)\SEWrapper.pdb" /> <?endif?> </Component> <?ifdef $(var.DEBUG) ?> <Merge Id="VCRedistVC100DebugCRTx86" SourceFile="$(env.CommonProgramFiles)\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC100_DebugCRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" Language="0" /> <?else?> <Merge Id="VCRedistVC100CRTx86" SourceFile="$(env.CommonProgramFiles)\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC100_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" Language="0" /> <?endif?> </DirectoryRef> <!-- FEATURES --> <Feature Id="MainApplication" Title="$(var.LongName)" Level="1"> <ComponentRef Id="ApplicationFiles" /> <?ifdef $(var.DEBUG) ?> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistVC100DebugCRTx86" /> <?else?> <MergeRef Id="VCRedistVC100CRTx86" /> <?endif?> </Feature> <Icon Id="EmcVsiLogo" SourceFile="$(var.Resources)\emc-vsi.ico" /> <Property Id="ARPPRODUCTICON" Value="EmcVsiLogo" /> <UIRef Id="WixUI_Minimal" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="$(var.Resources)\License-Setup.rtf" /> <WixVariable Id="WixUIDialogBmp" Value="$(var.Resources)\emc-wix-dialog-bmp.bmp"/> <WixVariable Id="WixUIBannerBmp" Value="$(var.Resources)\emc-wix-banner-bmp.bmp"/> </Product> </Wix> -- -a "I wonder if procrastinators realize that they're not putting off work, just putting it off onto other people?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
