Hello, I’ve spent the last two days getting familiar with
WiX, the windows installer, and going through the great tutorial on WiX (http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/).
I especially liked the article posted a year ago (http://msdn.microsoft.com/smartclient/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnwingen/html/wixsetup.asp)
that talks about doing the installer during the development cycle and not at
the end of it. We are badly in need of doing this. I have a question however. How do we migrate from our
current installer to the Windows Installer for existing customers? We just released version 5.0 of our product. Spending
6 weeks updating our installer (we have a custom C# installer). I can see
our new customers instead using a
new .msi for later versions (5.5, 6.0, etc). What do I do about our
existing customers when they wish to upgrade? They’ve never
installed originally with a Windows Installer. How do I get them on the
same track? Thanks for any advice, Rick Glos |
