Hiya all,
Similar to this question on StackOverflow
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4227456/windows-installer-deletes-versioned-file-during-product-upgrade-instead-of-down)
I've got a new version of an install that accesses an old version of a 3rd
party library.
Previous version (1.0) references Apex3D.exe version 3.0.7
New version (1.1) references Apex3D.exe version 2.96
This is a downgrade by a 3rd party, and we want the upgrade from v1.0 to v1.1
to replace Apex version 3.0.7 with Apex version 2.96.
It doesn't. It deletes version 3.0.7 and doesn't install version 2.96.
Relevant bits of the .wxs file:
<MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="Blah."
AllowDowngrades="no" AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes"/>
<Component Id="cmpB42F5061E6D22CE98B0C7438BC306A32"
Guid="{CD7EE807-D48D-48FF-AE48-C53382818ABD}">
<File Id="fil89806A85680A72004AF8F43D0B163260" KeyPath="yes"
Source="!(wix.ToolsDir)\Apex3D.exe" />
</Component>
If I add the Schedule="afterInstallExecute" attribute to the MajorUpgrade node
then the 3.0.7 version remains (instead of the version I want). I've also tried
changing the Component Id and GUID attribute and the File Id attribute without
it helping, and even adding a RemoveFile node before the File node in the
component (as described here:
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-wix-how-to-always-overwrite-a-file-td6904118.html).
The relevant bits of the verbose msiexec log are:
MSI (c) (E0:60) [16:52:35:610]: Note: 1: 2228 2: 3: MsiAssembly 4: SELECT

Any ideas how I can get this to work without faking the file version to be
higher than 3.0.7? I don't want to have to remember to update the fake version
number every time with release the product.
Cheers,
Jack
