I think you should get the upgrade working first before trying to get the CA working. The CA seems to be dependent on the upgrade working anyway, and it's not clear to me from your comments that the upgrade is working the way you want.
A major upgrade will add new software to Add/Remove Programs. That's the definition of a major upgrade - it replaces the previous version of the product. It's the major upgrade that sets that UPGRADEFOUND property. If you wanted to keep the *same* version of the product in Add/Remove Programs then a major upgrade is not what you want - you need a minor upgrade or a patch. When that's sorted out, we can look at what condition will work for your custom action and then why it fails.

Subject: [WiX-users] WG: WG: Do some Custom Actions during Upgrade I tried something more: set the first Custom Action as, <Custom Action="MyCA1" After="InstallFinalize">UPGRADEFOUND</Custom> The other CAs are same. It can pass compile. But when I install the msi, I still get the error message box "A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected", like the first email. Furthermore, there is new software installed in Software control panel, which is not I want. I only want to upgrade it. How to resolve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Betreff: [WiX-users] WG: Do some Custom Actions during Upgrade Hi again, For the custom action, I put it in <InstallExecuteSequence> And tried <Custom Action="UpgradeStopServices1" After="FindRelatedProducts">UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE However, I got the error: error LGHT0204: ICE75: UpgradeStopServices1 is a custom action whose source is an installed file. It must be sequenced after the CostFinalize action in the InstallExecuteSequence Sequence table But if I change the After to CostFinalize, I got the error as my last email. It is strange. I have no idea how to set the "After". Regards, Chunyan -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Jiang, Chunyan (GE Healthcare) Gesendet: Donnerstag, 6.

Betreff: [WiX-users] Do some Custom Actions during Upgrade Hi Wix-users, I have some Custom Actions, which should be called during Upgrade. Actually I want them to be called in the beginning of Upgrade, before remove files. So I set them as: <Custom Action="MyCA1" After="CostFinalize">UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom> <Custom Action="MyCA2" After="MyCA1">UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom> <Custom Action="MyCA3" After="MyCA2">UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom> But when I ran .msi, as the custom actions started, one error message popped up: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. I guess I call MyCAs in the wrong time. Is After="CostFinalize" wrong? What should I set here?
