I am authoring installer using Wix 3.6 RC. I am able to implement install,
uninstall, repair and rollback. I am only struck at Upgrade (mostly major
as my product does not support minor upgrades).
I implemented that basic upgrade but I saw some strange behavior. On
upgrade my installer runs Install CA and then uninstall CA (also removes
all components) but its shows successful install (Strange). I need to run
it again to perform uninstall. I am having separate custom actions for
install, uninstall, rollback, upgrade and uninstall.
I am using conditions like this:
<Upgrade Id="$(var.ProductUpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion
Property="NEWER_VERSION_FOUND" OnlyDetect="yes"
Language="1033"
Minimum="$(var.ProductFullVersion)"
IncludeMinimum="no"/> <UpgradeVersion Property="OLD_VERSION_FOUND"
OnlyDetect="no" Language="1033"
Minimum="$(var.ProductMinimumVersion)"
Maximum="$(var.ProductFullVersion)"
IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no"
IgnoreRemoveFailure="yes"
MigrateFeatures="yes"/></Upgrade>
<InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="CA_AlreadyUpdated"
After="FindRelatedProducts">OLD_VERSION_FOUND</Custom> <Custom
Action="CA_NoDowngrade"
After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWER_VERSION_FOUND</Custom></InstallUISequence>
<InstallExecuteSequence> <!--For Install--> <Custom
Action="CA_SetBase_Install" Before="CA_Install">NOT Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="CA_Install" After="CA_Rollback">NOT Installed OR
(Installed AND NOT (REMOVE="ALL"))</Custom>
<!--For Repair--> <Custom Action="CA_SetBase_Repair"
Before="CA_Install">Installed AND NOT (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom>
<!--For Rollback--> <Custom Action="CA_SetBase_Rollback"
Before="CA_Rollback">NOT Installed</Custom> <Custom
Action="CA_Rollback" After="StartServices">NOT Installed</Custom>
<!--Set properties for Uninstall--> <Custom
Action="CA_SetProperty_SDKMACHINE"
After="AppSearch">Installed</Custom> <Custom
Action="CA_SetProperty_INSTALLPATH"
After="CA_SetProperty_SDKMACHINE">Installed</Custom>
<!--For UnInstall--> <Custom Action="CA_SetBase_UnInstall"
Before="CA_UnInstall">Installed</Custom> <Custom
Action="CA_UnInstall" After="MsiUnpublishAssemblies">Installed AND
REMOVE="ALL"</Custom> <!--For Upgrade--> <Custom
Action="CA_SetBase_Upgrade" Before="CA_Upgrade">Installed AND
UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom> <Custom Action="CA_Upgrade"
Before="InstallFinalize">Installed AND NOT (REMOVE="ALL") AND
UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom> <!--For Upgrade Process--> <Custom
Action="CA_AlreadyUpdated" After="FindRelatedProducts">Installed OR
NOT OLD_VERSION_FOUND</Custom> <Custom Action="CA_NoDowngrade"
After="FindRelatedProducts">Installed OR NOT
NEWER_VERSION_FOUND</Custom>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize"/></InstallExecuteSequence>
Am I doing all correctly?? I think not!!!
Can some one please show me how can I do this in better way?
I also wanted to ask I want to show upgrade dialog at the start of the
installer. How can I do that too?
