Re: [WiX-users] question about upgrades
If the ProductCode you are attempting to install is already installed, it is no longer a major upgrade and is a maintenance mode transaction (see small update & minor upgrade, as well as repair and removal). Your ProductCode must not be installed in order to perform an installation transaction (both major upgrade and fresh install). -Original Message- From: Wilson, Phil [mailto:phil.wil...@wonderware.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 9:35 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

[WiX-users] question about upgrades
Hi All,
I am looking into an issue I am having when running an upgrade (major
upgrade) for an instance of my application that is installed. I am
currently running Wix v 3.0.5419. When my upgrade runs, I get this in
the verbose log for the RemoveExistingProducts action:
MSI (s) (98:14) [14:38:31:068]: Doing action: RemoveExistingProducts
Action 14:38:31: RemoveExistingProducts. Removing applications
Action start 14:38:31: RemoveExistingProducts.
RemoveExistingProducts: Application:

*** Action:
*** CommandLine: **
MSI (s) (98:14) [14:38:31:072]: Ignoring failure to remove product
during upgrade - product already uninstalled.
Action ended 14:38:31: RemoveExistingProducts. Return value 1.
I don't know what it's talking about when it says the product is already
uninstalled, because it is not. The end result here is that my
application upgrade runs, but on the machine it now appears that there
are two instances of the product rather than the one upgraded instance
that was my goal.
Can anyone shed any light as to why it would fail to remove the original
product. I have the RemoveExistingProducts action scheduled right now
between InstallValidate and InstallInitialize.
Thanks,
Amy

Re: [WiX-users] question about upgrades and instance transforms
Hello Amy, I have been through this, here's my experience. By the way, if some one can tell me there's a better way, I'd love to know. Most of this is not wix specific, but can be implemented with WIX. Some of it is bootstrap stuff. I assume you want to upgrade each instance independently and possibly not in the same order you installed them. The biggest issue when it comes to major upgrade is that because an instance has the same UpgradeCode but a different ProductCode, it can look like another version of the product, so the FindRelatedProduct action will find all of the existing Instances when any instance is being upgraded. The danger with this is that the first instance to be upgraded will upgrade one instance and remove all other instances at RemoveExistingProduct. I protect against this by having the install write its product code to the registry. I read this in on each install. I let FindRelatedProduct do its work, but then I overwrite the list found by FindRelatedProduct with my instance. The second thing is that you need to change the ProductCode for each of your instance transforms, otherwise the ProductCode is not changing for the instance which is not a Major Upgrade. This can be really messy. The third thing is that you now have to boot strap the MSI correctly - with the correct transform for the particular instance you are updating based on the user making a selection. So my bootstrapper (which is a HTA) uses the Installer.RelatedProduct property (in the Automation Interface) to get the instances installed, and then lets the user select which they want to upgrade. To do this the bootstrap must have a mapping of the existing ProductCode of an existing instance to the command string that upgrades that particular instance to its new instance. The command line for the major upgrade will need to have MSINEWINSTANCE=1 and TRANSFORMS=. You might have to experiment a bit with the original non-instance install (it doesn't need either of these). By the way, if by chance you want to install a new instance with the new version (ie you have instances of the old version on the system and you want to add a further instance but with the new version) be carefull. FindRelatedProducts will still kick in and find the old versions even though you think its just installing, end result is that it removes the old instances. I actually do all my instance installs with a property called CLEAN=1 which I use to stop FindRelatedProducts from running. I have also had some problems with MigrateFeatuerState seeming to give me the union of features selected for different instances, but I really haven't got to the bottom of that one. I hope that helps and I would like to know if you learn anything, or find a better way to do it.
