Re: [WiX-users] burn and upgrades
is there a way in the burn.sln to detect if it is an upgrade or not?
sample code I am using:
// ** Is Bootstrapper EXE running?
PROCESSENTRY32 entry;
entry.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32);
hSnapShot = CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, NULL);
int iCount = 0;
// need to get the filename from the full path
hr = StrAllocString(sczFileNameVariable,
PathFile(sczFilePathVariable), 0);
if (Process32First(hSnapShot, entry))
{
while (Process32Next(hSnapShot, entry))
{
if (wcscmp(entry.szExeFile, sczFileNameVariable) == 0)
{
iCount++;
}
}
}
if (iCount 2)
{
BootstrapperInstance = TRUE;
sczVerifyBootstrapperInstanceRunningVariableSet = L1;
BalLog(BOOTSTRAPPER_LOG_LEVEL_STANDARD,
VerifyIfAnotherMSIRunning: Found multiple Bootstrapper EXE's: %ls running,
can't have multiple EXE's running, (LPCWSTR)sczFileNameVariable);
}
thanks,
Steve

Re: [WiX-users] Burn and Upgrades
Ok. It would be cool if you could use a Burn-Package like a Msi-Package and it would know, if it is allowed to perform an upgrade. I have tested yet, that the WiXStBA stops with an error, if one tries to install an older bundle over a newer yet installed one. So I was hoping that you can specify the allowed versions in order to get a better failing message. But now it seems to me, that I need a custom BA if I want to achieve that goal? For our upgrades it could be possible, that a Msi-Package is sufficient - but first of all I am not sure about that yet and on the other hand I am not sure if it is possible to make the full installation via a burn bundle and the upgrades only via a Msi. As my C# knowledges are not so profound yet, I would like to avoid writing a custom BA... -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Gesendet: Montag, 1.
