I tried silently upgrading 19.0.1 on top of 18.3 with the following
code snippet:
<Upgrade Id="E8805AF3-CF50-4092-BE57-220A8C51E2AA">
<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes" Minimum="19.0.1"
IncludeMinimum="no" Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED"/>
<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="no" Maximum="19.0.1" IncludeMaximum="no"
Minimum="18.0.0" IncludeMinimum="yes"
Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED"/>
</Upgrade>
<!-- <MajorUpgrade Schedule="afterInstallInitialize"
AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes"/>-->
<CustomActionRef Id="WixExitEarlyWithSuccess"/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize"/>
<!-- These are our custom actions -->
<Custom Action='PrepareForInstall' After='InstallInitialize'>NOT
Installed AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom>
<Custom Action='SetJavawPath' Before='InstallServices'>NOT Installed</Custom>
<Custom Action="Upgrader" After="InstallHelperAction">NOT Installed</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
The log file has the following entries:
Doing action: FindRelatedProducts
Action start 12:01:15: FindRelatedProducts.
PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED property. Its
value is '{4B43BAEB-553B-4FAD-9219-C55DA3492D89}'.
Skipping action: WixExitEarlyWithSuccess (condition is false)
Doing action: AppSearch
FindRelatedProducts. Return value 1.
AppSearch.
...
Windows Installer installed the product. ... Product Version:
19.0.1. Product Language: 1033. .. Installation success or error
status: 0.
It looks like upgrade should have succeeded, but in reality 18.3 is
there and 19.0.1 is not.
I noticed that we have <MajorUpgrade> element commented out (see
above). Should it be uncommented? (Sorry I don't work with WIX a whole
lot).
Thanks,
Alec
