[WiX-users] Major upgrade - feature migration

[Dale Quigg]

I'm trying to get feature state migration working on a major upgrade that I 
invoke by running the MSI.

I think I have the appropriate entries in my WiX project.

    <Upgrade Id="$(var.Brand_UpgradeCode)">
      <UpgradeVersion Maximum="$(var.Brand_ProductVer)" MigrateFeatures="yes" 
IncludeMaximum="no"                  Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" />
      <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.Brand_ProductVer)" MigrateFeatures="yes" 
IncludeMinimum="no" OnlyDetect="yes" Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED" />
    </Upgrade>
    <InstallExecuteSequence>
      <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallValidate"/>
    </InstallExecuteSequence>


The MSI that is generated seems to have the appropriate entries for;
InstallUISequence
1000 CostFinalize
1200 MigrateFeatureStates

InstallExecuteSequence
1000 CostFinalize
1200 MigrateFeatureStates


Running a verbose log during upgrade shows that FindRelatedProducts is working.

MSI (c) (C8:DC) [10:58:22:419]: UI Sequence table 'InstallUISequence' is 
present and populated.
MSI (c) (C8:DC) [10:58:22:419]: Running UISequence
MSI (c) (C8:DC) [10:58:22:419]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding EXECUTEACTION property. 
Its value is 'INSTALL'.
MSI (c) (C8:DC) [10:58:22:419]: Doing action: FindRelatedProducts
Action 10:58:22: FindRelatedProducts. Searching for related applications
Action start 10:58:22: FindRelatedProducts.
FindRelatedProducts: Found application: {F3801F82-A075-4E73-834C-FCF26053392A}
Action ended 10:58:22: FindRelatedProducts. Return value 1.
MSI (c) (C8:DC) [10:58:22:434]: Doing action: PrepareDlg
Action 10:58:22: PrepareDlg.
Action start 10:58:22: PrepareDlg.


But... the feature states only match the settings in the Feature table, not 
what the user selected in the previous install.

Any tips for what I am missing?

Thanks,
Dale
