Hello all,
I'm trying to configure an installer which allow the user to reinstall
the same version of a product. This works satisfactorily when the MSI is
used the Maintenance Dialog is displayed, and the options to Repair or
Remove are available. This does not work when the EXE bootstrapper is
used (necessary for Admin elevation w/Vista). Given that version 1.0.1
of the product is already installed, when the EXE for version 1.0.1 is
launched the first dialog presented is the Verify dialog with only the
options to Install or Cancel. Choosing to install causes an error when
Windows Installer looks in the Temp directory for the TMP file that was
created (and subsequently) deleted when version 1.0.1 was initially
installed.
Bootstrapper manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
version="1.0.1"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="DEMO"
type="win32"/>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel
level="requireAdministrator"
uiAccess="false"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
I also found what appears to be an open WiX bug related to this:
reinstalling the same version of a product - ID: 1809983
http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1809983&gro
up_id=105970
Is this bug related to the problem at hand?
Is there a way to configure the bootstrapper to show at least the
Maintenance dialog?
Thank you very much,
