Ah the same version upgrade problem - I have questioned this quite a bit
on this list and raised a defect http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/3065/.
There isn't a workaround in WiX other than changing the bundle version
(yet) but if you have your own BA I have put some code in the defect that

Hello folks,
as I did not get any answers to my last question, I try to be more precise
today.
I want to make an Installer with burn, that installs quite a big application.
So there are different things to do, like just install some files, copy some
files around, initiating a database and so

According to the documentation the MultiInstance attribute causes a new

I have a problem when trying to detect whether my Bundle is already

Could you use the built-in variable WixBundleInstalled instead ? I'm not sure
if that's version specific or not. It might be worth a look.

Hi all,
I have an install that creates an extension in MS Outlook. So outlook needs
to close before copying files etc.. and then restart after. (Just like it

This is an old thread, but I finally got around to figuring out an answer.
There may be a Votive bug, or a VisualStudio bug/feature. Maybe you guys can
tell me.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] In .wixproj, default Build Configuration ignored
The original issue was that we wanted to specify which configuration builds
by default after launching the IDE with no preexisting .suo file. Turns out
this is dictated by the names of the configurations in the solution.

If you have an msi which is always installed, you could check the version of it
in the DetectRelatedMsiPackage callback. You have access to both the major and
minor version in the event argument.

You don't need a workaround. You create a BA that chooses that same
versions should upgrade. The wixstdba does not choose to do that today.
To be clear, the old bundle is not overwritten. The new bundle comes
along, finds the old bundle there and (by default) tells the old bundle to
remove itself
The wixstdba uses WixBundleInstalled variable to determine maintenance
mode. I would recommend doing the same.

There is a bug open that the solution builds don't work quite right (
http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/2993/). My understanding is that this is
an issue with MPF provided by Visual Studio and no one has tracked down how
to fix it in Votive. Your issue sounds like it might be related.
