Re: [WiX-users] Component condition question

Try to use condition UPGRADE_FROM_VERSION = 6.1.8.85. Not sure it will fix your problem. Better approach is to use Upgrade element to find previous versions of your product, and then use properties which are set by FindRelatedProducts. -Maksim -Original Message- From: Greg

Re: [WiX-users] Component condition question

I'm not sure I understand Maksim - the current value of UPGRADE_FROM_VERSION is 6.1.8.78, and the condition is UPGRADE_FROM_VERSION = 6.1.8.85 (ignoring AND InstallModeRemove for the moment). You are saying to try the condition UPGRADE_FROM_VERSION = 6.1.8.85, which is no different from what I

[WiX-users] WiX force copy file.

Here is the situation. I have a configuration file that on installation in release mode I use the XmlFile task to remove a section of the file. In debug I also use XmlFile to modify one of the elements in the file. Is what I am finding is that if I do a release installation followed by a debug

Re: [WiX-users] WiX force copy file.

Check a verbose log file and it should say why it is not replacing that file. Typically because it is newer than the file you hope to replace it with. The RemoveFile element can be handy for some of these types of issues. Not positive it's what you'll want, but maybe. -Original

Re: [WiX-users] WiX force copy file.

Yes. I run into this with text files (xml mostly) a lot. RemoveFile can go under the same Component as the File element. That's the way I always use it. -Original Message- From: Kevin Burton [mailto:kev...@buyseasons.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 12:21 PM To: General discussion

I add RemoveFile but on uninstall. This gave me the same error do you usually specify both for this kind of situation? Kevin Burton Senior Software Engineer BUYSEASONS 262-901-2000 Office 262-901-2312 Fax kev...@buyseasons.com -Original Message- From: Chad Petersen

Re: [WiX-users] WiX force copy file.

I only ever specify On=install. I think of it as asking the install to remove the existing file, no matter what, prior to copying in the new file. I equate this to the InstallShield Always Overwrite setting. -Original Message- From: Kevin Burton [mailto:kev...@buyseasons.com] Sent:

Re: [WiX-users] WiX force copy file.

My syntax is a bit different than yours, but you might try removing the [WPFINSTALLDIR] property from your RemoveFile element. But, I always nest my Components under a Directory element, so our approach is somewhat different. -Original Message- From: Kevin Burton
