Re: [WiX-users] How do you have a component work only on an install?
I think I might know what the problem is. It is not working when we do an upgrade. And we do upgrades currently by forcing the minor upgrade. We use this command to do it: msiexec /i ClientInstall.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus Could this be forcing the reinstall of all components regardless of the condition? And if so is there any way around this? -Original Message- From: Scott Sam Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 3:57 PM To: Scott Sam; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] How do you have a component work only on an install? Upon further testing, that didn't work. I guess I don't really understand how these things work. I've read the tutorial, and have done a bunch of testing on my own, but I just don't get it. So I tried using: Condition![CDATA[(WinClient == 3)]]/Condition And I've tried using: Condition![CDATA[NOT (WinClient == 3)]]/Condition Somehow I get the same result (the component runs in both cases). How is that possible?

A reinstall is for all components that are currently installed. If you need to change the condition during a minor upgrade, check out transitive components in the MSI SDK. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
