I ran into a weird issue that I can't seem to figure out, hopefully someone has an idea.
My issue happens only when doing a minor upgrade from an older version to a newer version of my product. The failure lines from the log look like this: MSI (s) (1C:3C) [23:17:21:084]: Note: 1: 2228 2: 3: Error 4: SELECT `Message` FROM `Error` WHERE `Error` = 2911 DEBUG: Error 2911: Could not remove the folder C:\Config.Msi\. MSI (s) (1C:3C) [23:17:21:084]: Note: 1: 2318 2: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2911. The arguments are: C:\Config.Msi\, , There was a change to the wxs between those two versions, and if I undo the change then upgrade works fine again. However, I cannot figure out how to get it so the upgrade works fine with the change. Fresh install works fine with the change, it's only upgrade that fails. The change is pretty trivial: I added a Directory entry to the list of directories, and a corresponding Component with RemoveFolder entry. There was another directory on the same level already for which I did the exact same thing, so it's basically just copy and paste and changing the directory identifier. Note that the directory I added is actually created by the app already (also in the lower version), I only added it so my custom action can blow the directory away during uninstall. The closest match to my issue that I could find is this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21242963/wix-installer-uninstalls-but-not-installs-if-previous-version-is-installed I also have a custom action but it is only run at uninstall. The log clearly shows that the action was not run because its condition evaluated to false. Any ideas what might be going on here? // Sascha ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV. Video for Nerds.
