Re: [WiX-users] Reorganising features and major upgrades
John Hall wrote: Yes, all the features are unselected in the feature selection dialog. I was launching the MSI with 'REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus'. However, on reading the tutorial a bit more closely, those arguments are for minor upgrades - I removed them and it now has all the features appropriately selected. Yeah, you can't use REINSTALL during an initial installation -- nothing's installed, so there's nothing to reinstall. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I'm assuming you have RemoveExistingProducts scheduled early, so you can also check out InstallValidate action logging, to see the features and components that are getting removed (old version) and selected for install (new version). Bob, Thanks for your reply. RemoveExistingProducts is scheduled after InstallInitialize and so has not been run when we get to the customize screen. It isn't actually migrating any feature states from the old version either: MSI (c) (60:F0) [06:04:52:081]: Doing action: MigrateFeatureStates MSI (c) (60:F0) [06:04:52:081]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: ActionText Action 6:04:52: MigrateFeatureStates. Migrating feature states from related applications Action start 6:04:52: MigrateFeatureStates. MSI (c) (60:F0) [06:04:52:091]: Skipping MigrateFeatureStates action: feature settings already made Action ended 6:04:52: MigrateFeatureStates. Return value 0. So it is not clear to me from the log why it is unselecting all the features. There is no other mention of features in the log. What sets up the initial feature action states?

[WiX-users] Reorganising features and major upgrades
I'm in the process of migrating my installer from InstallShield to WiX 3. As part of this I have reorganised and rationalised the features in the product. When I come to do a major upgrade from the old installation to my new one, all of the features in my product in the customize dialog are unselected. If I install cleanly, they are all selected. I've made sure that MigrateFeatures is set to 'no' in the Upgrade element, and have even tried disabling the MigrateFeatures action when upgrading from the previous installer version. A typical feature in the product looks like this: Feature Id=ChainDebugger Title=Chain Debugger Description=XJTAG Chain Debugger Tool Level=1 Display=50 AllowAdvertise=no ... /Feature Is there something obvious I might be doing wrong?
