Hi there Fredrik,
Thanks for sharing your valuable experience.
Answering to your question and after talking to my boss is that the
upgrades on database will be handled by our support team.
We have the current scenario. We have nant tasks that produce two
installers. One is the main installer to
Hi to all,
I saw the following issue in other topics but I don't figure it out
how to handle it.
I downloaded the SampleUpgrade (section4.1) file and can't compile it.
The command that I am doing is:
Starting c:\wix\light.exe "SampleUpgrade.wixobj" -out
"SampleUpgrade.msi" c:\Wix\ca\sca.wixlib c
Please ignore the doubt.
I was using two versions of wix the lastest compiler but a older wixLibs.
Thanks

Mike,Thanks! That worked, at least for some of the policy dll files. I am still having some isues with others, but I think it's the policy file (possibly the way it's being built) and not my code. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out!

You would need to use a custom action; the standard action to start

I think you meant minor upgrades there.
Major upgrades uninstall the old product first so there isn't any issue
with version numbers.

Ok, thanks. Fortunately I managed to run "command /c net start MyService"
after InstallFinalize which is sufficient.

I want to create an MSI to deploy a COM+ application. I could create the MSI to do so, but, I could not find a way to change the Activation to "Run application as NT Service". Is this possible using the COM+ custom action? If not any ideas on how to approach the problem?

This has been around for a while. If you were to log the install I think
you'd find a message something like "component xxx will not be installed
because an equal version is already installed". The trouble is that it

Hi,
The website that is used is identified by the
