Hello,
I'd like to author an MSI that shall upgrade an old (non-WiX) setup. The
old setup had an option where it could either be installed perMachine or
perUser. The new setup should be perMachine only, so I'd like to write a
launch condition that reads Please uninstall old [Product] before
Many many many thanks, guys. You saved me a lot a time!
No way to do same thing for java installer?

I think you need Protocol='netfx' on the ExePackage. Built in
PackageGroupRef for NETFX in WiX does this, IIRC.

Hello folks,
as I have to implement an installer with WiX and burn, that must handle
updates, I try to figure out, how the windows installer concepts for those

experience with this yet, I do not want to construct

If the payloads weren't laid out correctly, shouldn't selecting the language

I assume your non-Wix setup is still an MSI.
The FindRelatedProducts action that uses the Upgrade table cannot detect
products installed for a different context. i.e. Your per-machine installer
can't see a per-user installer using Upgrade elements. You could use upgrade
elements to detect an

Just to update I have found that the problem seems to stem from the torch call
and if I use the wixmst file generated by 3.5 it creates the patch fine.
Here is my torch call:

%NewInstall%x86\PROGRAMx32.wixpdb -out
This worked! Thanks!!!

I am trying to use the ComponentGroup/@Source to set the source path for some
components but it is not working, the syntax I am using is:

I think if you specify a Source attribute at all, it overrides anything from
parent elements. Try changing Source to Name.

I want to create a shortcut to point to my executable. The shortcut will be

It's not only preferred, it's the only way. An application is either logo
