Hi, there is something I am obviously doing seriously wrong with a particular installer I have, but I am clueless as to what.
Installing, works great, however then when I come to uninstall, or update, a majority of the time it simply executes custom actions and leaves it at that (on uninstall it removes it from add remove programs, but all files are still there!?). The installer is pretty basic. It is for a website and upgrades are always major upgrades. I have it set as one file per-component and there are approximately 3200 files (I have been wondering if this is maybe the cause? Since I am using major upgrades only and have everything removed first then reinstalled would it be worth changing so I have maybe a component per directory?), there are a couple XmlFile actions for the web.config in a component and I use a custom action (before anyone starts telling me its a bad idea, this is beyond my control :-) ) for register and unregister some COM+. Currently, that's it. In the future I would like to reintroduce IIS configuration, but need this fixed first obviously. I have some service installers that are for the most part the same, except they include a service, and they work consistently. I don't have the files on me now but I have attached a dirty hack file that should accurately represent the file, any suggestions welcome. Any files in there are stored in separate files and reference back using DirectoryRef, they are just super basic, component with guid and file set to keypath. Then another file that has some XmlFile in a couple components, When creating, the only warnings I get are there are some font files in the web directory so it makes some comment about them and the fact having over 800ish components wont go down well in win9x (not an issue though). Thanks, Adam
