Hi Bob, Thanks for your answer, I totally understand that upgrading across contexts doesn't make much sense. However, that is not my problem. Maybe I wasn't specific enough with my explanation, so here is my scenario (pretty much a standard setup scenario IMHO):
The setup is similar to the Advanced setup of Wix 3.0, i.e. it offers a page where the user can select whether to install per-user or per-machine (like in InstallScopeDlg.wxs in the UIExtension). 1. ALLUSERS is initially empty, thus per-user is the default 2. User installs per-machine by selecting the option in InstallScopeDlg (which sets ALLUSERS = 1) 3. User updgrades to newer version, the previous version should be removed. 4. FindRelatedProducts runs before the user makes the selection in InstallScopeDlg, i.e. FindRelatedProducts searches for per-user installations and ignores the per-machine installation 5. User again selects a per-machine setup in the UI. 6. The previous per-machine installation will not be removed, although the new installation is NOT across context. The behaviour I would like to have is that FindRelatedProducts runs AFTER the user selected the install scope, i.e. step 4 and 5 above should be swapped so that in step 6 the previous installation in the SAME context is removed. I guess that this is somehow possible but I don't know how to specify the install sequences so that it works (and the WiX compiles). If anyone could help me with this problem I would be really thankful, Best Regards, Dirk Vollmar Bob Arnson-6 wrote: > > divo wrote: >> I am facing the exact same problem, i.e. FindRelatedProducts happens long >> before the user is asked to choose the installation scope in the UI. >> > > Generally, the answer is: Don't.
