Good ideas. In our WiX app installation I already detect Excel-version like this:
<Property Id="EXCELVERS"> <!-- value is Excel.Application.X where X is either 10, 11 or 12 for 2002, 2003 and 2007 respectively --> <RegistrySearch Id="ExcelRegistry" Type="raw" Root="HKCR" Key="Excel.Application\CurVer" /> </Property> ...and then install the corresponding Excel-interop assemblies using conditional hidden feature elements: <Feature Id="ExcelIntegration2002" Level="0" Title="Excel integration" Description="ExcelRTD2002 integration" Display="hidden"> <ComponentRef Id="ExcelRTD2002" /> <?if $(var.Configuration) = Release?> <ComponentRef Id="ExcelRTDShim2002"/> <?endif?> <Condition Level="1">EXCELVERS = "Excel.Application.10"</Condition> </Feature> ...etc So you are saying just re-launching our MSI in repair mode would pick up the change and install on only that feature? In that case my question about uninstall would be a non issue. I'll look into repair mode more, we have not found a reason to use/support that yet. Maybe now we do, thanks.
