It worked, thank you. But now I have another problem. Lets say I have version 1 of product:
<?define ProductVersion="1.0.0.0" ?> .... <RegistryKey Key="$(var.ProductVersion)"> Now I am doing version 1.1: <?define ProductVersion="1.1.0.0" ?> .... <RegistryKey Key="$(var.ProductVersion)"> If I do upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 the registry key 1.1.0.0 is created, but 1.0.0.0 does not get deleted. How do I fix this? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Neil Enns Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 10:15 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] VS setup project -> WiX 3.0 conversion For #1 I keep forgetting that's one of the topics on my list to add to the docs. In the mean time you can read Alex's blog entry which is how I got it working: http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/15/from-msi-to-wix-par t-8-major-upgrade.aspx. For #2, we have this set up as a WiX preprocessor variable. Somewhere in your file put <?define myVersion="1.0.0.0"?>. Then wherever you want to refer to it use $(var.MyVersion).

As an exercise I converted one of our simple VS 2008 setup projects to WiX 3.0 and have two questions so far: 1. How do I make the new installer uninstall the previous version of the product? Is it just a matter of setting UpgradeCode? 2. How can I use Product element's Version attribute in the script? Something like this: <Product Id="..." Name="..." Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0"> ... <RegistryKey Key="Version" /> </Product> I guess I can define a property, but is there a better way? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
