I've solved my App.Config issues with help from Blair (Thanks, buddy!!!),
but now I'm running into upgrade path problems...
To set the stage, I have a WIX installer that successfully deploys an
application to it's installation directory, and takes some input from the
user that calls a CA to overwrite some elements of the App.Config file that
were deployed, or were present before deployment (NeverOverwrite="yes" on
the App.Config file)...
On clean install, the files deploy perfectly, and the app.config overwrite
works great. Running the installer AGAIN, I get the Repair/Remove dialogs,
which indicates the installer is self-aware.
My problem is when I rebuild a new installer with a new product version, and
a new Product GUID Id. . .
It runs through the new installation path, and completes, but I end up with
a duplicate program installed. It shows up in Add/Remove programs twice,
instead of "RemovingExistingProducts" silently before the upgrade
installation first :(.
My upgrade definition is as follows:
=============================
<Upgrade Id='0b872586-4c12-4848-b1dd-680009759b5f'>
<UpgradeVersion
OnlyDetect='yes'
Property='PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED'
Minimum='0.0.0.0'
IncludeMinimum='yes'
Maximum='$(var.ProductVersion)'
IncludeMaximum='no' />
<UpgradeVersion
OnlyDetect='yes'
Property='SELFFOUND'
Minimum='$(var.ProductVersion)'
IncludeMinimum='yes'
Maximum='$(var.ProductVersion)'
IncludeMaximum='yes' />
<UpgradeVersion
OnlyDetect='yes'
Property='NEWERFOUND'
Minimum='$(var.ProductVersion)'
IncludeMinimum='no' />
</Upgrade>
==============================
In the InstallExecuteSequence, I've put the following:
==============================
<RemoveExistingProducts
After="InstallInitialize">PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED</RemoveExistingProducts>
==============================
...And before I attempt the upgrade, I rebuild the installer with a new ID
GUID for the Product definition, and a new $(var.ProductVersion) that is
greater than the original installations'...
Running it then, the installer seems to execute what seems like the "fresh
install" path, and results in a dupilcate entry in the Add/Remove Programs
dialog in windows if the installation is then completed. :\
Anything I'm missing that you can tell?
Thanks as always!
