Hi,
I have written a simple WIX code to do a major upgrade. I have used 'After
InstallFinalize' action to remove the products. This ensures that the
unmodified files are not re-installed (uninstalled and then installed again).
Only the files which have been changed gets updated. The newly added files are
also installed correctly. This works as expected. But I am facing issue with
deleting files.
In WIX, I can have multiple files inside a component (as shown below).
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="Wix_Upgrade">
<Component Id='My' Guid='CFD119E9-E3B2-4228-B37A-53D8A3E4C2E5'>
<File Id='My1' Name='My1.txt' Source='cf1.txt' />
<File Id='My2' Name='My2.txt' Source='cf2.txt' />
<File Id='My3' Name='My3.txt' Source='cf3.txt' />
</Component>
</Directory>
If I delete one file inside a component, it doesn't get deleted during
installation (un expected behavior).
If I delete the whole component, all the files inside it gets deleted.
So in order to be able to delete a single file, I should bundle a single file
inside a single component. Is this correct? Is there any other way where a
single file can also be deleted (in case of 'InstallFinalize' action). Please
let me know the solution.
Thanks and Regards,
Kshama
