"NOT Installed AND NOT PREVIOUSFOUND" The property identified in each UpgradeVersion element that does not have OnlyDetect set to "yes" is used by the RemoveExistingProducts action to perform the removal of the old version of the product.
For elements where OnlyDetect is set to "yes" the property is set, but RemoveExistingProducts ignores them. When you perform a major upgrade, the package containing the new version will be seen as a new product (the ProductCode isn't already used on the computer) so Installed will not be set (will be false). The upgrade table will be processed and if your Upgrade table is authored correctly PREVIOUSFOUND will be set to the ProductCode(s) of all previous versions installed. When you perform a clean install (there is no previous version) Installed will still be false and PREVIOUSFOUND will also not be set, thus allowing the CA to run. When you uninstall, Installed will be set (true) blocking the CA. When the old package is uninstalled as part of the upgrade, Installed will be set blocking the CA in that old package. During Minor upgrades/Small updates (including patching) and Repairs the Upgrade table isn't processed but Installed is set, thus blocking the CA as well. You can't link your Upgrade element without having a RemoveExistingProducts element in place, so you must have it in there somewhere. In your installation log, look for PREVIOUSFOUND to see when it is set, and for MyCA to see when it is either skipped or run. -----Original Message----- From: Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare) [mailto:chunyan.ji...@ge.com] Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 12:40 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] WG: How to call Custom Action only on first timeinstall, not on Upgrade? Hi Blair, I have tried "NOT Installed AND NOT REMOVEOLD". But MyCA is always be called for every upgrade. Is there something wrong with the Property='PREVIOUSFOUND'? What can I do for Upgrade? Regards Chunyan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare) Gesendet: Donnerstag, 6.

Hi Blair, Thank you for your explanation. The following is my Upgrade table: <Upgrade Id='8517ae9a-667d-4bd3-9cea-4323be6d7040'> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='no' Property='PREVIOUSFOUND' Minimum='1.0.0.0' IncludeMinimum='yes' Maximum='3.0.0.0' IncludeMaximum='no' /> </Upgrade> And the Custom Action is defined as: <CustomAction Id='MyCA' FileKey='VPAdmin.exe' ExeCommand='VPAdmin -install -quiet' Return='asyncWait' /> I don't know how to use RemoveExistingProducts element. I will try "NOT Installed AND NOT REMOVEOLD". Thank you again for your help! Chunyan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Blair [mailto:os...@live.com] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 5.

Please show us how you authored your Upgrade table. UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is only set in the package being removed by the upgrade, so that one won't help. PATCH is set only when you are attempting to add a patch. What you want is "NOT Installed AND NOT REMOVEOLD" or whatever you named your property that contains the product codes for RemoveExistingProducts to remove. -----Original Message----- From: Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare) [mailto:chunyan.ji...@ge.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 8:17 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] How to call Custom Action only on first time install, not on Upgrade? Hi Wix-users, I stuck at this issue: how to call Custom Action only on first install, but not on Upgrade. I wrote one installation package, which is able to upgrade. In my .msi there is one Custom Action, which should be called only on first installation. I have tried the following ways to call this Custom Action. But every time, it will be called both on first time install and on Upgrade. <Custom Action="MyCA" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed</Custom> <Custom Action="MyCA" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed AND NOT PATCHFOUND </Custom> <Custom Action="MyCA" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed AND NOT PATCH </Custom> <Custom Action="MyCA" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE </Custom> Could some one give me some hint how to handle it?
