Subject: [WiX-users] simple condition... Hi folks, I'm trying to implement a very (at least, I guess it is...) simple condition... I would like a Component to be installed ONLY on an initial installation (and not on Major Upgrade or Repair) The code looks like this: <Upgrade Id='89AC3E0C-C945-CE4F-8975-646C107FFAE9'> <UpgradeVersion IgnoreRemoveFailure="no" Property='OLDPRODUCT' IncludeMinimum='yes' Minimum='8.0.001.0' /> </Upgrade> .... snip .... <Component Id="MY_TOMCAT_CONF_COPY" Guid=""> <Condition>NOT OLDPRODUCT</Condition> <CopyFile Id="MY_TOMCAT_SERVER_XML" DestinationProperty="conf" DestinationName="server.xml" FileId="server.xml.ssl" /> <CopyFile Id="MY_TOMCAT_IAMFILE1" DestinationProperty="conf" DestinationName="my_file1" FileId="Console_conf_file1" /> <CopyFile Id="MY_TOMCAT_IAMFILE2" DestinationProperty="conf" DestinationName="my_file2" FileId="Console_conf_file2" /> <CopyFile Id="MY_TOMCAT_IAMFILE3" DestinationProperty="conf" DestinationName="my_file3" FileId="Console_conf_file3" /> </Component> My problem is that the CopyFiles are done on each installation (initial, Major upgrade and Repair....) NOTE : I didn't set any Guid for the component since I don't want this component to be managed on uninstallation. Is this a valid way for managing this? NOTE2 : My product only upgrades through major upgrades. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help...
