The component key is constant. So, you are saying to put this registry key in its own component with autogenerated guid?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] VS setup project -> WiX 3.0 conversion Warning this is a guess! Do you have the <RegistryKey> in a component that has a different guid for each version? If not I can't see how the install would "know" to remove the key.

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.
