Hi all,
I have a weird problem. When a custom action fails, the installation fails
and no files are installed. However, when I check in the control panel the
version number has been updated to the new version. Subsequent attempts to
install the new version trivially succeed – but my files are still the old
version. Basically after a failed custom action I cannot upgrade. In the
test I started with version 4.0.2717 and afterwards it was still there, but
in control panel it says my version is 4.0.2816. Is there something I need
to do to prevent the installation from updating the product code on
failure? Here’s a snippet from the msi log. I’m using WiX 3.5.
