Hi all,
I'am trying to upgrade existing package through major upgrade.
The upgrade is done through wpkg (wpkg.org) patching system and it runs
using machine account.
When i run the upgrade using Administrator account (interactively) all
goes smoothly. However when the upgrade is applied through the patching
system it goes wrong i.e. the following appears in the logs (which i
believe is the cause of my problems):
MSI (s) (78:4C) [20:14:06:466]: Determined that existing product (either
this product or the product being upgraded with a patch) is installed
per-user.
and then
MSI (s) (78:4C) [20:14:06:555]: FindRelatedProducts: current install is
per-user. Related install for product
'{A70E99ED-87C6-4142-88A7-8491459494A2}' is per-machine. Skipping...
I have found various post regarding similar errors which conclude that
cross-context installation is not possible. What i want to do is to
force the install to be in per-machine context. I have added ALLUSERS=1
property to the wix file, tried running msiexec with /jm flag and event
passed ALLUSERS=1 as a parameter to the installer. Still the
installation is per-user and the ALLUSERS initially set to 1 is unset:
MSI (s) (78:4C) [20:14:06:467]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Deleting ALLUSERS
property. Its current value is '1'.
I'm 100% sure that the previous version
({A70E99ED-87C6-4142-88A7-8491459494A2}) is installed per-machine.
Initially i thought it was a problem with patching system, but i have
tested upgrade process of other application and the update is correctly
installed using per-machine mode.
I have used orca to look at the various properties (of my two packages
and the other application packages), and do not see anything massively
out of ordinary. The installer script is also quite basic. I'm quite new
to wix so any help would be much appreciated
The wix version is 3.0 and machine that the package is being updated on
is Windows7 x64. I have attached zipped log file from the failed upgrade.
Many thanks
Lukasz
