Hi, thank you for this hint. I found more information now after searching for "Major Upgrade". But somehow I couldn't find a working example.
Here is my xml file: <?xml version='1.0'?> <!-- $Id: tbzmodwincontrol.wxs 9 2009-01-30 11:29:29Z tguettler $ $HeadURL: svn+ssh://svnserver/svn/modwincontrol/trunk/ms-windows/tbzmodwincontrol.wxs $ --> <?define Version = "1.0.78" ?> <!-- Variable muss immer erhöht werden. --> <?define UpgradeCode = "5B3289E7-EEFC-42BF-BC67-6B355C416290" ?> <!-- Variable bleibt konstant --> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'> <Product Id='94132004-8EB3-4606-AA2E-9D58D2A5BE4A' Name='TBZ-PARIV ModWinControl $(var.Version)' Version='$(var.Version)' Manufacturer='TBZ-PARIV' Language='1033' UpgradeCode='$(var.UpgradeCode)'> <Package Description='TBZ-PARIV ModwinControl for Windows' Compressed='yes'/> <Property Id='ALLUSERS' Value='1' /> <!-- http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2009/01/wix-script-for-major-upgrades.html --> <Property Id="UPGRADEFOUND" Secure="yes" /> <Property Id="NEWPRODUCTFOUND" Secure="yes" /> <Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.Version)" IncludeMinimum="no" OnlyDetect="yes" Property="NEWPRODUCTFOUND" /> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="0.0.0" Maximum="$(var.Version)" IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no" Property="UPGRADEFOUND" /> </Upgrade> <CustomAction Id="PreventDowngrading" Error="Newer version already installed." /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions" /> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallValidate" /> <Custom Action="PreventDowngrading" After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWPRODUCTFOUND</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="PreventDowngrading" After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWPRODUCTFOUND</Custom> </InstallUISequence> <Media Id='1' EmbedCab='yes' Cabinet='tbzmwc.cab'/> <!-- Die cab-Datei wird in die msi-Datei eingebunden, so dass nur eine Datei benötigt wird. --> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="APPLICATIONROOTDIRECTORY" Name="TBZ-PARIV ModWinControl"> <Component Id="tbzmodwincontrol" Guid="*"> <File Id="tbzmodwincontrol.exe" Source="dist\tbzmodwincontrol.exe" KeyPath="yes"/> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id="MainApplication" Title="TBZPARIV MODWINCONTROL" Level="1"> <ComponentRef Id="tbzmodwincontrol" /> </Feature> </Product> </Wix> Rob Mensching schrieb: > Yeah sure.
