Hi,
if I try to install a new version of my msi file, I get the error message,
that I need to uninstall it first.
Is there a way to automatically uninstall it? Is possible to enable a switch
in the wix file that says delete old version on install?
The next best solution would be an option if
Yeah sure. Check out Major Upgrade.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it was possible to build a single installer that
embeds several languages (this installer would switch to the platform's
current language)?
Or do I have to build as many installers as I have languages to support?
I want my product to be able to be deployed in
This is discussed much in the list. You might search to get lots of options.
Nothing is supported natively.

Rob, I think, you are right. The problem does not occur in WiX 3.0.4827.0.
So I will try to open a bug. Be warned ;-)
Kind regards and many thanks for your help,

Fix was just checked-in. If all goes well, build that comes out tomorrow will
be much happier.

Hi,
Here's a sample code to detect IIS 5/6 or some IIS7 components :
Property Id=IIS56 Value=#0
RegistrySearch Id=IIS56InstalledComponents Root=HKLM
Key=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OC
Manager\Subcomponents Type=raw Name=iis_common /
/Property
Property Id=IIS7
As for me, the best way to get the major and minor versions of IIS is to
reference the properties introduced by standard IIS extension:
PropertyRef Id=IISMAJORVERSION /
PropertyRef Id=IISMINORVERSION /
Note, that the values are prefixed with the '#' sign. Thus, for IIS 5.1

Hi,
thank you for this hint. I found more information now after searching
for Major Upgrade.
But somehow I couldn't find a working example.
Here is my xml file:

Hi there!
Thanks for your answer! We will either use XML config files or
environment variables. This decision is still open. What I want to do is
to execute the SSIS package from a C# application to perform a Fuzzy
lookup to compare addresses. There are around 1 million data rows to
compare.
It sounds like your component GUIDs changed between releases. Make sure all
the GUIDs stay the same.
And check the verbose log during the upgrade, it will tell you what it intends
to do with each component, which can help you figure out why it's doing that.

You could advertise the shortcut. That's most straight forward. Or you could
ignore ICE69. I've considered doing so in the past... it is a very frustrating
situation for cases that don't happen often.

Thanks Ari,
After your reply a reviewed with Orca the GUIDs of my components and
find out that, since the version the issue started 80% of the GUIDs were
changed I changed back to the original values and the Upgrade worked
just fine.
You're answer was exactly what I needed :)
