Thank you! The new version does remove its shortcuts.
If I use the RemoveFile element on an update, if the file doesn't exist when it tries to remove it, will an error occur? If so, how do I check to verify that the files do exist?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade Help Then you have done nothing wrong in your new version (assuming it does remove its shortcuts). You could use the RemoveFile element in WiX to remove the previous shortcuts on installation. -----Original Message----- From: Thode, Katelyn [mailto:katelyn.th...@guidancesoftware.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 9:09 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade Help If you simply remove the older version (without installing the newer version), do the shortcuts remain? What is your associated code for the shortcuts in both old and new versions? -----Original Message----- From: Thode, Katelyn [mailto:katelyn.th...@guidancesoftware.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 7:45 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade Help Hello, I am working on creating a wix installer to upgrade an existing application. If I try to install an older version of the application, the installer indicates that a newer version is installed and exits the setup as expected. The issue I am having occurs when a newer version is detected and an upgrade occurs. In the older versions of the installer, the application is under the start menu as [Application Name] -> application, uninstall, user's guide. In the newer version, the setup for the start menu is [company name] -> [application name] -> application, uninstall, user's guide. When I try to upgrade, the newer version is added and, in the Program Files directory, the files are changed. But, the desktop icon and the start menu shortcuts remain. Is there a way for me to remove the old shortcuts using a standard action? Below is the upgrade code I currently have: <!-- Upgrade Information --> <Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="0.0.0" Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)" IncludeMinimum="yes" Language="1033" Property="OLDUPGRADE" /> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)" OnlyDetect="yes" Language="1033" Property="DETECTNEW" /> </Upgrade> <InstallExecuteSequence> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> <Condition Message="A later version of [ProductName] is already installed. Setup will now exit."> NOT DETECTNEW OR Installed </Condition> <!-- On upgrade find out the install directory --> <CustomAction Id="SaveTargetDir" Property="ARPINSTALLLOCATION" Value="[INSTALLDIR]" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SaveTargetDir" After="InstallValidate"> NOT Installed </Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <InstallUISequence> <!-- App search is what does FindInstallLocation, and it is dependent on FindRelatedProducts --> <AppSearch After="FindRelatedProducts" /> </InstallUISequence> <!-- Find previous installation location --> <Property Id="INSTALLDIR"> <RegistrySearch Id="FindInstallation" Root="HKLM" Key="$(var.RegistryKey)" Name="InstallDir" Type="raw" /> </Property> Thanks for your help, Katelyn Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and thus protected from disclosure.
