I am building a WIX installer that will have to upgrade a Visual Studio deployment project .msi. When I run the major upgrade installer it replaces the entry in the Program and Features list OK but none of the files are left after the RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallFinalize" (tried both Before or After). A repair gets the files installed.
I finally set it to RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize" and that solved the problem but I am still wondering why the update didn't work. The files in the upgrade all had newer time stamps but some had the same version number although some did have newer version numbers. Is this a component GUID mismatch problem? If so how can I get around it? The Visual Studio version of the installer sequences the remove step just before the finalize step and I wanted to continue to do that. I am installing VC merge modules and their remove step follows the finalize step.
