[WiX-users] install location not preserved while upgradation
Hi, Every time when I upgrade my software, install location dialog shows the default install location, It does not picks the previously installed location automatically. Is there any way to do this other than storing/searching registry keys. Pointer to a article is also welcome. Thanks in advance.

Re: [WiX-users] install location not preserved while upgradation
Setting ARPINSTALLLOCATION allows retrieval of the location using MsiGetProductInfo(...INSTALLPROPERTY_INSTALLLOCATION...) so I guess the other than storing registry keys requirement would be met, but storing/retrieving the install location from the registry is trivial anyway with built-in MSI functionality. Sanjay doesn't say why the registry method is ruled out. Alternatively, if you know of a component that is in that primary install folder, then do a component search for it via AppSearch to set the path.

Re: [WiX-users] install location not preserved while upgradation
what will be way to do this using WIX ? I ruled out the registry storing/retrieving method, because there is a considerable amount of xml needs to be written for it. I would not mind it if there is some straightaway method of getting older install location using WIX.

Re: [WiX-users] install location not preserved while upgradation
Hate to say this, but write it to a registry key and read it back is the only way I am aware of to do this. Its not very much XML: You need a component with a registry entry, a property with a registry search.
