[WiX-users] Help with Upgrade scenarios.
In the project I'm working on, we've hit a pain point and we're not certain how to overcome it. Right now if we want to do an upgrade, the user has to uninstall before installing the new version. I am sure this has to be possible, I just need some pointers on the how to side of things. Thanks! Rory - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] Help with Upgrade scenarios.
Does it complain about a different version of the product already being installed? If so, you need to install the MSI via the msiexec.exe command like this: msiexec.exe /I your_msi.msi REINSTALL=All REINSTALLMODE=vomus On 3/14/07, Rory Clark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In the project I'm working on, we've hit a pain point and we're not certain how to overcome it.

That solved the short term problem, but isn't a long term solution. Looks like I need to do a lot more research and a lot more reading. Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] Help with Upgrade scenarios.
What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to make it so you don't have to do that from the command-line? One thing that I think that you can do is set a property in your wxs file that is: Property Id=REINSTALLMODE Value=vomus / If you look at the MSDN documentation for the REINSTALLMODE property, you're not supposed to put the v in vomus on the initial installation, but I have never figured out why you're not supposed to do this.

Re: [WiX-users] Help with Upgrade scenarios.
Rory, One thing to be aware of (which caught me, and continues to be a source of frustration from time to time) is that Windows Installer only looks at the first 3 parts of the version information. Lesson 4 in the tutorial (http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php) should offer some assistance too. The thing you need to understand is the difference between small, minor and major upgrades. Hope this helps, Regards, Richard From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rory Clark Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 3:10 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Help with Upgrade scenarios.

Re: [WiX-users] Help with Upgrade scenarios.
You could be right. I haven't played with setting v all of the time, so I'd have to create a few MSI files and do that. Now that I finally did all the work to show why COM advertisement is bad and why ICE33 can be ignored (http://robmensching.com/blog/archive/2007/03/12/RobMens-Recommendation-Do-not-advertise-COM-information-in-MSI.aspx) maybe I'll try this one... next week.
