I've got a WIX installer that installs some unversioned files from an external CAB file.
My problem might be in the relative ordering of the RemoveExistingProducts action. When its before InstallInitialize, running the installer seems to freak out with external cab files, and keeps giving me an error that the file isn't in the CAB file (even though it is). If RemoveExistingProducts is after InstallExecute, it installs correct with the CAB file the first time, but will not upgrade the file during an upgrade Below are some snippets: Adam --- <Media Id="1" Cabinet="OWL.cab" EmbedCab="yes" /> <Media Id="2" Cabinet="Videos.cab" EmbedCab="no" CompressionLevel="none" /> <Media Id="3" Cabinet="Manuals.cab" EmbedCab="no" CompressionLevel="none" /> ... <Component Id="Video01" Guid="{FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF}" DiskId="2" > <File Id="Video01.wmv" DiskId="2" Vital="no" KeyPath="yes" Source="BLAH.wmv" Name="Video01.wmv"/> </Component> ... <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="CA_BlockOlderVersionInstall" After="FindRelatedProducts"> <![CDATA[NEWERVERSIONDETECTED]]> </Custom> <!-- Prevent installation on 4th version field change only --> <Custom Action="CA_BlockAnotherBuildInstall" After="FindRelatedProducts"> <![CDATA[ANOTHERBUILDINSTALLED]]> </Custom> <LaunchConditions After="AppSearch" /> <!--<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallExecute" />--> <RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="CA_BlockOlderVersionInstall" After="FindRelatedProducts"> <![CDATA[NEWERVERSIONDETECTED]]> </Custom> <!-- Prevent installation on 4th version field change only --> <Custom Action="CA_BlockAnotherBuildInstall" After="FindRelatedProducts"> <![CDATA[ANOTHERBUILDINSTALLED]]> </Custom> <LaunchConditions After="AppSearch" /> </InstallUISequence> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
