Re: [WiX-users] Shared Attribute handling while Upgrade
This is a major upgrade. I am sharing these binaries with the other installers which are MSI only.

And, are you sharing these binaries with other installers that are not/may not be MSI or that don't supply MSI components for their installation? -Original Message- From: Swapnil Sankla [mailto:swapnil_san...@persistent.co.in] Sent: Friday, August 06, 2010 4:04 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] Shared Attribute handling while Upgrade Hi, I have marked the binaries deployed by the installer as Shared. It work fine if I install the msi and uninstall it. However if I tried to upgrade the existing product then the SharedDllRefCount increases to two. Hence after uninstalling the product the count becomes one and uninstallation does not remove these files. Have anyone faced the same problem mentioned above? Thanks and regards Swapnil.

Re: [WiX-users] Unable to use msiexec /i /qn
Hi, @Vijay: I tried silent installation using feature tree using msiexec /qn /i sample.msi. And it is working fine. It must be some another issue.

Even that didn't work. I thought this problem is because i'm using feature tree, while on Silent install it was unable to get at features so it is not installing and tried using installdefault attribute of feature tag with value local. Still it didn't work.
