Gentlemen,
Thank you for your replies. MajorUpgrade seemed simple enough, so I added this:
<MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of Product Name Removed is
already installed."/>
Documentation gave me the impression I could remove this portion and so I did:
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize" />
<InstallExecute After="RemoveExistingProducts" />
I've also tried the suggestion on the slightly larger block of code using
Upgrade-element. These two approaches produce the same results when I've got
version 4.2.0 installed and
attempt to install 4.3.0:
- files are replaced in the installation directory only when
AssemblyFileVersion is greater than the existing file's AssemblyFileVersion; I
expected it to remove all files and put in the new ones.
- two entries for the application are in Add/Remove Programs and two shortcuts
are on the desktop; I expected it to remove the 4.2.0 entries in Add/Remove
Programs and so forth.
The documentation on MajorUpgrade about scheduling says:
"This scheduling removes the installed product entirely before installing the
upgrade product. "
However, it would appear not since it selectively replaces files based on
AssemblyFileVersion. There is one thing different between 4.2.0 and 4.3.0 and
it's the publisher's name (that appears in Add/Remove Programs).
I changed it to be identical, but it's still no difference. I've tried
comparing 4.2.0 and 4.3.0 installers through Orca, but the magnitude of
information in the two is so different in the Property-table. This is what the
Upgrade-table looks like, though:
// Version 4.2.0
{17652B67-2C4F-4752-88CE-0E300DEA4C2F} 4.2.0 0 PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED
{17652B67-2C4F-4752-88CE-0E300DEA4C2F} 4.2.0 258 NEWERPRODUCTFOUND
// Version 4.3.0
{17652B67-2C4F-4752-88CE-0E300DEA4C2F} 4.3.0 1 WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED
{17652B67-2C4F-4752-88CE-0E300DEA4C2F} 4.3.0 2 WIX_DOWNGRADE_DETECTED
Then InstallExecuteSequence differs as well:
// Version 4.2.0
InstallValidate 1400
InstallInitialize 1500
RemoveExistingProducts 1525
// Version 4.3.0
InstallValidate 1400
RemoveExistingProducts 1401
InstallInitialize 1500
The installation sequence reminded me we've got a JScript, as suggested by
Microsoft, to fix a bug in the sequencing of the installation, as described by
them at:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/559575/problem-with-installing-and-removing-previous-versions-after-upgrading-my-setup-project-to-vs2010
But that's version 4.2.0. RemoveExistingProducts in 1401 for 4.3.0 looks great
as after "InstallValidate" as is default by MajorUpgrade-element. This is
driving me crazy. Any more ideas what could be wrong here?
Thank you,
Tom
