I am running the sample codes that came with the wix tutorial (version 2.0) for
minor upgrade.
First of all, I created the initial install package which I named it as
"sampleOld.msi". The install process ran without any errors.
After that, I created the second install package which I named it as
"sampleNew.msi". I follow the instruction to open a command prompt and ran the
instruction as follows:
"msiexec /i samplenew.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus"
I can see two problems when running this command.
1. If the original install package does not reside on the same directory, it
gave the following error:
"A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\temp\Wix
tutorial\lesson4\SampleUpgrade\New\sampleOld.msi"
I have to copy the old file ("sampleOld.msi") from other directory to the
current directory. I don't think this is neccessary and it is an error.
2. I intentionally "touched" the helper.dll file so that its timestamp is newer
than the old one. After the upgrade ("sampleNew.msi") is finished, I don't see
the new file was copied.
Anyone has the experiement and how to solve the problems?
Thanks in advance for assistance.
Michael
