I'll get that filed if I can't find it. The idea(l) is that the files are extracted then moved, so that only complete and verified files are in the cache. When TMP and appdata are on the same volume, it should be a move, afaik. Definitely a bug if the files are left behind in TMP, though. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 01:33:27 -0700 (PDT) From: mislimcane <milosavljevic.mi...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] COM+ / RegAsm To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <1302856407245-6275601.p...@n2.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Does you found solution?

And naturally it didn't end up being very complicated. :p So here is what i did. 1. In my .wxs I made an upgrade element to upgrade the product like you normally would EXCEPT I made the upgrade code a random guid (NOT one i am using). This was the only way I could get wix to create the upgrade table in the msi. Since the guid is bogus it will never be found and the installs will continue on as they normally would. 2. I used the 'CustomAction' element to give each instance is own upgrade code and set the 'UpgradeCode' property according to the instance chosen. Note: I scheduled these to run before 'AppSearch'. 3. Then I made a C# custom action to add temporary rows to the Upgrade table. 4. The added rows were a copy of the current rows that were put there by the 'Upgrade' element. EXCEPT I changed the 'UpgradeCode' to be the same as the 'UpgradeCode' in the Property table. 5. This custom action is scheduled to run after the last 'SetUpgradeCode' custom action that was mentioned in step 2. 6. THAT"S IT!

The Wix upgrade does a RemoveExistingProducts and correctly launches the old InstallShield install which shows the Files In Use dialog warning of reboot required. The Wix install then attempts to install FlexNet again. At the end of the upgrade, agent.exe from flexnet is present (probably the old one) After reboot agent.exe had been deleted from the system but the new one not installed. Why is the new file not getting copied over correctly?

The registry search will run during first time installation and replace the value "quick" with a blank anyway.
