Re: [WiX-users] Run the CA only on the first install (no upgrades)

UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is set when you're being uninstalled during an upgrade, so it sounds like the wrong condition. Now I get it!!! the UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is NOT set when the product is installed during an upgrade, only when uninstalled during an upgrade. THX! I think you probably want

[WiX-users] ProductVersion / Small Updates

AFAIK for a small update (not minor upgrade) the version number of a product must not change. The problem is: How to identify which version (the original or the patched one) is installed now? Maybe I misunderstood the contraint about version numbers, so I *may* change the ProductVersion, but I

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut is not using specified icon

Rather weird, but I'll have to accept it -- Microsoft makes the rules. ;-) Strange but true, it still is not working: I have now used NOTEPAD.exe as source file (which obviously is in the right format and contains only a single icon) and named the icon as .exe by using Icon id=my.exe

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with adding items to ListBox

I think you should still list all the columns in brackets: INSERT INTO `ListBox` (`Property`,`Order`,`Value`,`Text`) VALUES ('SELECTEDGUICONFIG',2,'2','1.brf') And, BTW, get a habit to wrap table and column names in `...` For more information, see the MSI SQL syntax definition:

Re: [WiX-users] Problem while uninstallation

Windows Installer only removes empty directories during install. If your application dirties those directories during execution doesn't clean up after itself, you'll need to do it yourself in your MSI or fix your application to write to somewhere under CommonAppData or LocalAppData (or some other

Re: [WiX-users] ProductVersion / Small Updates

Windows Installer only uses the first 3 fields of version numbers so you can change the 4th one as much as you'd like. See - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370859.aspx Personally I stay away from Small Updates for this reason. Minor upgrades work just as well with no ambiguity.

Well like I said, it won't (the searching for the old application will always happen). You can't do that without writing a Custom Action Conditioning it appropriately as far as I know. Replace the function of the DirectorySearch with a Custom Action which returns the path to the directory
