Hi, is it any way possible possible to do a minor upgrade and automatically
remove related products in the background? I want to keep the same product
code basically.
The scenario is I made some bug fixes to our product that dont seem to warrant
a major upgrade. My version numbers are only going from, say, 2.0.1 to 2.0.2.
Im using a RemoveExistingProducts action to uninstall any previously installed
versions quietly in the background with the same upgrade code. It works fine if
I change the product code but I get the 'Another version of the product is
already installed..' dialog if I use the same Product Code. Have to manually
uninstall the old one first to continue with the new install which is a pain
for testers and users.
I realise this is probably by design and an msi issue, but it just seems
counter intuitive, for the sake of a minor upgrade, to have to change to a new
product code (only to get a previous version to uninstall). In my case I have 3
revisions of a similar product so would involve a lot of product code changes
every time I do a bug fix. Would be great if I could keep my product codes the
same until it really is a 'major upgrade'.
thanks very much once again!
