You may have to clarify which product you're referring to here because UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is set in the old product if it is being uninstalled because of an upgrade. If you're trying to influence the behavior of the old product as it uninstalls then it may well be too late. The uninstall sequence of that old product is going to run the way it was shipped, and you can't influence it by using UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE in your upgrade.

I am adding the upgrade feature to the product and have run into a problem. The 5 that run during install (after InstallFinalize) work fine (i.e. don't run) during the upgrade, but the 2 which run during uninstall are also running during the upgrade (which I don't want -- I only want them to run during an uninstall). For reference, the following is one that works correctly (i.e. the NOT OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED causes this not to run): <Custom Action='SetXCopy' After='InstallFinalize'>(NOT OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED) AND NOT Installed</Custom> I have tried everything I can find on the web, the following tries all fail: 1) <Custom Action='RunRemoveBat' Before='InstallInitialize'>(NOT OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED) AND Installed</Custom> 2) <Custom Action='RunRemoveBat' Before='InstallInitialize'>(NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND Installed</Custom> 3) <Custom Action='RunRemoveBat' Before='InstallInitialize'>(NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE="ALL")</Custom> 4) <Custom Action='RunRemoveBat' Before='InstallInitialize'>(NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE ~="ALL")</Custom> 5) <Custom Action='RunRemoveBat' Before='InstallInitialize'>REMOVE ~="ALL"</Custom> 6) <Custom Action='RunRemoveBat' Before='InstallInitialize'>(REMOVE="ALL")</Custom> ..... The following is the pertinent info about the product and install <Product Id='*' UpgradeCode='6BC1F640-7024-4f18-A53A-BEA60722590B' .... <Upgrade Id="{6BC1F640-7024-4f18-A53A-BEA60722590B}"> <UpgradeVersion Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" Minimum="1.0.0.0" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="!(bind.FileVersion.SecureBridgeEXE)" IncludeMaximum="no" /> </Upgrade> <InstallExecuteSequence> ... <Custom Action='RunRemoveBat' Before='InstallInitialize'>(NOT OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED) AND Installed</Custom> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize"/> <Custom Action='SetXCopy' After='InstallFinalize'>(NOT OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED) AND NOT Installed</Custom> ... </InstallExecuteSequence> _________________ The only thing I can think of that could possibly be an issue is that I am not incrementing the major or minor version, only the build version (but from what I have been able to read, it shouldn't really be an issue). _________________ I am really confused as to why the two custom actions seem to work differently. It would seem to imply that there is some kind of sequence issue (I have tried them at InstallFinalize, InstallInitialize and before RemoveFiles with no luck). These actions remove services, so it is important that they be ran only during uninstall. Thanks in advance for any help.
