[WiX-users] Uninstalling Sql2005 Express as part of a burn install chain.

Hi Currently one of our product uses Sql2005 express and I have created an installer that can detect if there is an instance available and if not install Sql2008R2. Is it possible to detect that the instance is Sql2005 and uninstall that before installing Sql2008R2? Richard Mayes Mobile

Re: [WiX-users] Updating from V 3.6.2424.0 to Version 3.6.3014.0

I've been getting similar errors, however when I build again they seem to go. I had it on a build a few versions back but then it seemed to go and now has come back. As it builds fine the second time, it's just an irritation for me... Richard Mayes Blog: http://blog.slinkysoftware.com Twitter

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line

Why don't you just use the msbuild commandline if you already have the wixproj? Just call msbuild in the same directory to the sln or wixproj and it will find it. Richard Mayes Blog: http://blog.slinkysoftware.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/caveman_dick On 27 June 2012 15:24, Dan Muller

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line

I would assume that the exitcode values are not working correctly as I force a reboot when installing Windows Installer 4.5 but I don't bother checking the exit codes (omit the value attribute). Do you really need to reboot after installing dotnet? Richard Mayes On 22 May 2012 08:17, Simon
