Easy way to do it would be to condition the WelcomeDlg in the
InstallUISequence with "NOT Installed AND NOT PREVFOUND".
Then you could make a new dialog (make the buttons a copy of the
VerifyReadyDlg ones so you get UAC shields where appropriate) &
condition it with "Installed AND PREVFOUND" so it will show instead.
Make sure you set it to Before="ProgressDlg". This would make the user
only see your new dialog & when they click the Install button & it goes
straight to the Progress Dialog & starts upgrading.

WiX UI's which should help point you in the right direction if you need
help with this ->

Subject: [WiX-users] skip almost dialogs on upgrade


When i am doing a upgrade of my application. ( i am un-installing an
re-installing ) I would like to skip all the user interaction dialogs. 

Right now i have this in my setup
      <Publish Dialog="WelcomeDlg" Control="Next" Event="NewDialog"
Value="VerifyReadyDlg">PREVFOUND</Publish>

This of course will skip the license, setuptype etc... dialogs. 
but the user still has to press next on the welcomedialog, and press
next on the verifyreadydlg

I would like to minimize the amount of clicks the user has to do. 
My best is once the msi is run, that it goes directly to the progess
dialog and starts the install. 

I do want to show the progress dialog, so the user will see the install
working. 
And during a first time install i still want to go though all the
standard dialogs. 

How do i do this?
