Hi All,
I have an executable which has to be launched as a custom action. It is a
temporary one, I have to run and delete it after that.
When I add it as a Binary and Custom action it works.
Now I want to execute it silently, I added an action to set RunSetConfig

Hi
If you are using MSI Instances and installing to different locations, you don't
need different component GUIDs for each component in each installed instance
and the reference counting seems to work okay. I will be honest and say I
don't know how it works under the hood, but it does work.
At one point I was thinking that I have too many C++ Custom Action Dlls and
started using existing Dlls. That is, I added a new entry point for a new CA in
a Dll that already hosted code for existing CA. That appears to work just fine
except for one issue: WcaLog() doesn't work - nothing gets ou
I wasn't asking about ProductCode. I'm asking about the component GUID
for the registry key you're referring to. You need to assign different
GUIDs for all components that could be installed in two locations by the
two different instances. If you want to install the same files in two
places,
Each instance has a unique Product Code. Also, I was following the guidelines
from the Windows installer SDK (On how to author instance transforms).
How do I install the same set of files for multiple instances using transforms?
Please advise!

Are you using the same component GUID for each of these keys? You can't
do that... It's breaking the component rules and all kinds of bad things
happen when you break the component rules.
Each distinct component keypath (the 'main' entry in a component) MUST
have a unique component GUID. Eac
Hi,

Everything works except for one issue:

The key itself contains the version it looks like e.g. CLSID/GUID/1.0.0.0. A

If you have special security needs, the best approach is to create a user
or group with exactly the permissions that you need and have your code run
as that user or as a member of that group.
When you uninstall your application you remove the created user/group.

Goira, your Product/@UpgradeCode doesn't match Upgrade/@Id that is why
you get the duplicate. Take a look at my sample again you will see I use

You have OnlyDetect set to Yes when you detect the older version, that won't
cause the upgrade to occur.

Hello All
I thought I found a solution that works.
1. I used the original GUIDs of the Product, and of the components I
wanted to upgrade. (replaced the '*' with the GUIDs of the original setup).
2. use the same feature name as in the original setup.
3. Run the following command "msiexec /i xxx

While creating an installer that should do a major upgrade I firstly faced the

version) doesn't get removed.
In order to make it possible that the installer of the upgrade removes it I

Sounds like it belongs there and it's easy. To be honest, I wonder how

The upgrade code should remain the same for all products that are

Using Package/@Id="*" I'm using the following code - this prevents two
versions being installed where only the 4th version number differs.
This is primarily to prevent confusion with internal testing, and
means that we bump the third version following each public release in
order to permit upgrades
