On a project which has been upgraded from Visual Studio 2005 to 2008 running an
upgrade on the MSI package not work correctly. The reason for this is that the
project is dependent on the Microsoft CRT libraries. Previously the library was
included in the install as follows:
<Merge Id="msvcrt" Language="1033"
SourceFile="$(env.ProgramFiles)\\Common Files\\Merge
Modules\\Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" />
<Merge Id="msvcrt_policy" Language="1033"
SourceFile="$(env.ProgramFiles)\\Common Files\\Merge
Modules\\policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" />
Now this has been replaced with:
<Merge Id="msvcrt" Language="1033"
SourceFile="$(env.ProgramFiles)\\Common Files\\Merge
Modules\\Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" />
<Merge Id="msvcrt_policy" Language="1033"
SourceFile="$(env.ProgramFiles)\\Common Files\\Merge
Modules\\policy_9_0_Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" />
The only change here being that the referenced merge modules have changed.
Attempting to upgrade the package using the "REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL"
switch succeeds but the new MS libraries are not installed. I believe this is
because the components in the new merge modules were not previously present so
no action is taken.
Can anyone shed any light on this and suggest a way that I can author the
install so that the upgrade will work.
Thanks
Chris Walford
