 Great, thanks a lot for the useful info. Luckily the previous version had the 
upgrade code so your sugestion worked well.

[WiX-users] strategy for moving/migrating to WIX from other installer

2009-07-31 Thread warne warne

Hi, 

I have a new version of our product (version2) for which I created a new WIX 
3.0 installer. The previous installer for version1 was created with an unknown 
old installer program. It is an msi though so I can open it in Orca to view 
product  upgrade Ids etc. I can also see that the features and feature 
components are structured different to what I have. These features are now not 
needed in the new WIX installer.

Is this classed as a 'Major Upgrade' or Whats the general accepted strategy for 
moving to WIX installer in this situation? Im puzzled what to do in terms of 
productIDs, packageIDs and upgrade codes.

Similar situation to this :

but wanted to make sure it was the right way to do it.

If I have to remove the old version, is it possible to create a custom action 
in the new WIX installer to first detect old version is on the system and 
button below that to remove it? Just to make it elegant maybe.. 

thanks very much,
