[WiX-users] Trouble with MajorUpgrade
I'm using the MajorUpgrade as follows: MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage=Newer version already installed. / However, when I install the newer version on top of an existing version, I get the following error message: The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\Manufacturer\ProductName. The installation cannot continue. Logon as administrator or contact your system administrator. I in installing on a Windows 2012 R2 system though I get the same results on Windows 7. The installer is being build for x64 if that matters. I think what's happening is that it's uninstalling the old version successfully, but the install directory is removed. When the new install starts the same install directory cannot be accessed because the install directory is scheduled for deletion by the OS. Is there any workaround for this?

[WiX-users] Trouble with MajorUpgrade, external CAB files, and unversioned files.
I've got a WIX installer that installs some unversioned files from an
external CAB file.
My problem might be in the relative ordering of the RemoveExistingProducts
action. When its before InstallInitialize, running the installer seems to
freak out with external cab files, and keeps giving me an error that the
file isn't in the CAB file (even though it is).
If RemoveExistingProducts is after InstallExecute, it installs correct with
the CAB file the first time, but will not upgrade the file during an upgrade
Below are some snippets:
