Hi Blair, Thank you for your explain.
I still have some questions here. My requirement is to have multiple versions and also be able to upgrade some. In my last email, the Version 3 should be able to upgrade Version1. It means version 1 should be removed. And Version 2 is kept untouched. But now I set OnlyDetect="yes". When I install Version 3 to the path of Version 1, all these 3 versions stay in the system. And in the future, I want to show the installed software in the Listbox, and ask user to select which one to upgrade, there will be 3 items there, same as Add/Remove Program. It is confused. Version 2 has been upgraded (remove). It should not be shown there. Is it possible to realize my requirement?

Betreff: Re: [WiX-users] New Entry in Add/Remove Program when upgrade You could try removing OnlyDetect="no" and adding a condition to the RemoveExistingProducts action. However, then version 3 in your scenario will remove both versions 1 and 2 (instead of just 1). Your requirement to leave multiple versions without forcing each to use a different path is the problem. It doesn't leave you with many options. -----Original Message----- From: Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare) [mailto:chunyan.ji...@ge.com] Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 1:59 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] New Entry in Add/Remove Program when upgrade Hi wix-users, I developed one setup msi. And I want it to be upgradable. The requirement is: 1. Version 1 install to PathA. (New Install) 2. Version 2 install to PathB. (New Install) 3. Version 3 install to PathA. (Upgrade) The setup meets the requairment. However, when I perform the above actions, there are 3 items in Add/Remove Program list. Version 1 and Version 3 are in the same path. Actually there are 2 installs, since version 3 just upgrades version 2. I consider the reason is that I set <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes" Property="PREVIOUSFOUND" ... Here Onlydetect = "yes". I know if I set OnlyDetect="No", then upgrade will replace the older version. And there is no old version item in Add/Remove Program list. But if I set OnlyDetect="No", when I perform second step (install Version 2 to PathB(New Install)), the system will check last install (Version 1 in PathA), and remove the files in PathA. I don't what to break install 1. Is there one way to resolve my problem?
