Hi, There is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905238 a knowledge base article (mentioned also on the WiX Documentation) that describes the case of an assembly from GAC missing after a major upgrade. One of the solutions was to schedule *RemoveExistingProducts *action to occur after the *InstallFinalize *action.
However, after the following test the assembly was still in GAC. The test: Using WiX 3.6, created a new setup project, with version 1.0.0.0 and *MajorUpgrade *element default, containing a dll to install into GAC. Install this small setup. Windows Installer 5.0 Create version 2.0.0.0, change Product Id (*ProductCode*) and leave the *MajorUpgrade *element default. The assembly for GAC remained the same. Checked with Orca and *RemoveExistingProducts *was scheduled after *InstallValidate * Do a major upgrade. The assembly remained in GAC. In the log file there is something like: Does that line from the log mean that the knowledge base article doesn't apply anymore ? Did I miss something and the *RemoveExistingProducts * action still needs to be scheduled after *InstallFinalize *action so that the assemblies from GAC are not removed after a major upgrade ?
