[WiX-users] remember installed features during major upgrade
Hi, I am sure this is a commonly asked question, but I cannot find any resource explaining this. Scenario: User has installed the product and changes the default selected features to install. During major upgrade the installer fails to remember what features user has selected to install at first place and installs all features as specified by default in the MSI. Question: How should one keep user selected features between major upgrades? Thank you!

In the upgrade installer, set UpgradeVersion/@MigrateFeatures=yes If you use MajorUpgrade, migrate features is the default. -Original Message- From: Martin Kulov [mailto:mar...@kulov.net] Sent: 10 June 2011 16:25 To: wix-users Subject: [WiX-users] remember installed features during major upgrade Hi, I am sure this is a commonly asked question, but I cannot find any resource explaining this.

Re: [WiX-users] remember installed features during major upgrade
Peter, I own you one! MigrateFeatures did the trick. However I need to explicitly set it to Yes, although I am doing major upgrade. UpgradeVersion Minimum=$(var.RTMVersion) IncludeMinimum=yes Maximum=$(var.CurrentVersion) IncludeMaximum=no Language=1033 Property=UPGRADEFOUND MigrateFeatures=yes / Removing MigrateFeatures attribute does not enable this behavior by default. Is this expected? Thanks a lot!

If you use the MajorUpgrade element then it is the default behavior. You're using the older way, so you need to specify it explicitly. -- John Merryweather Cooper Jack Henry Associates, Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] remember installed features during major upgrade
I never expected that there is much simpler one liner solution using MajorUpdate. Somehow I missed this element. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_majorupgrade.htm http://www.joyofsetup.com/2010/01/16/major-upgrades-now-easier-than-ever/ Very helpful indeed.
