It uses the cached/stripped copy of the MSI that the existing product was installed with.
It works by performing the only remaining supported usage of concurrent installations. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371197(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368010(VS.85).aspx -----Original Message----- From: Amy Rosewater [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 11:10 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] question about how RemoveExistingProducts works Hi All, I am working on a major upgrade for my installer and was wondering if anyone could tell me how the RemoveExistingProducts action actually works? Does the action use the same msi that is currently executing, or does it use the msi that the existing product was installed with? Thanks in advance if anyone can help me with this one.
