I'm seeing a situation in which a major upgrade fails to uninstall the
previous version. I have three package versions like this:
Package A: Version 1.0.1, installs the VC++ redistributable merge module
Package B: Version 1.5.0, does not install the VC++ redistributable merge
module, same prod
I wish to add a feature to my installer which detects if a certain
application is running, and then presents the user with a message asking
them to quit all instances of the application or abort installation. I'm
new to wix development, but I've searched on this subject and although

You might want to check the Template wix extensions in
http://msiext.codeplex.com. You can write something like [INSTALLLOCATION] in
your file and it will get replaced on install.

I recommend having a consistent versioning scheme for all types of code,
including wix. We do major.minor.sourcecontrolrevision.0 and populate all
necessary artifacts for C++, C#, Wix and other code using various techniques,
primarily template files.

This is an "it just works" situation if you use the same component guid and the
ServiceInstall/Control elements and stay away from code-based installs like
ServiceInstaller classes. You could put the service in a merge module or WiX

Hi Bob,
This makes sense, however I am not retrieving values set during the install

During the change only the properties set in UI sequence are not getting

There's no need for merge modules; use a ComponentGroup instead.

Does no one else have to issue? The obvious workaround is to use the

These sound like odd requirements to me. But that said, I'd use the
action states of the components to figure this out. If you want to
consider it from the first-installed product perspective, it will have
to poke in and know at least one of the merge module's components (or

Hi,
You are trying to create Launch Condition and refer to Wix documentation
to create Launch Condition you Condition element should be child node
under Product or Fragment element, so you simply need to remove
Component above your Condition.
