[WiX-users] minor upgrade and RemoveExistingProducts

Hi, is it any way possible possible to do a minor upgrade and automatically remove related products in the background? I want to keep the same product code basically. The scenario is I made some bug fixes to our product that dont seem to warrant a major upgrade. My version numbers are

Re: [WiX-users] setupbld setup.exe repair install

Turned out this is not so trivial. Line in the setup.cpp file (the source for the SETUPBLD stub setup.exe) says hr = StrAllocConcat(pwzProperties, L REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=\vomus\, 0); this forces a minor upgrade instead of a normal install that produces the

Re: [WiX-users] Vista Standard User and perMachine install

Thanks for the help, I tried it without InstallPrivileges=elevated and it almost got it to work. Both methods ('Condition' element and type 19 custom action) appear to have the same net effect. XP works great and stops the install if not an admin. That fine and is what I want. Vista

Re: [WiX-users] Vista Standard User and perMachine install

Hi thanks, but the privileged property is always 1 regardless if Im standard, or admin user. As I was saying I have InstallScope=perMachine InstallPrivileges=elevated in my package element. Is that setting privileged to 1 by any chance? I thought by doing that it would inform msi that

Re: [WiX-users] Vista Standard User and perMachine install

Is there a property I could check for that is set when either a XP Limited or Vista Standard user runs my installer? I tried 'AdminUser' 'Privileged but it seems they are always '1' regardless if I run the setup logged in as an administrator or not. thanks very much,

[WiX-users] Vista Standard User and perMachine install

Hi there, My setup is a perMachine (ALLUSERS=1) install which I set in the 'Package' element and thats fine. Just wondering then, is there any way to get round vista's UAC for users without admin rights ie 'Standard Users' ? They get the old You do not have sufficient priviliges etc

Re: [WiX-users] Vista Standard User and perMachine install

Thanks thats certainly clarified it. My install is a 'WIXUI_INSTALLDIR' type so from what I read here: http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/msifact/Concepts/Per-Machine_vs._Per-User_Installations.htm that rules out perUser install. I also use a custom action to launch my app after install and

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

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

Re: [WiX-users] merge modules not working only vcredist.exe

Hi Ari, Thanks for tip re static link explaining InstallExecuteSequence. Im not really concerned though about the custom action (launch app after installation checkbox). I only mentioned it to reference the error message 2896 in the log in case someone suggested it. The problem is,

Re: [WiX-users] merge modules not working only vcredist.exe

So I remove the custom action to make sure the merge modules, as you say, install correctly. Same result... App wont launch with merge modules (see 1st post for list of what I have). Only works if prior install vcredist.exe (2008). Can I rephrase this question. Is there a link
