Hi, I've probably run into a bug with the latest WIX 3.6 build (see issue https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3521939&group_id=105970&atid=642714) on SourceForge.
Basically, I've an MSI which installs a file in a per-user scenario: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <Product Id="*" Name="Test" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Someone" UpgradeCode="d7aea251-6b1e-4f16-80a5-67d2f1d524d3"> <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perUser" /> <Property Id="ALLUSERS" Secure="yes" /> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." /> <MediaTemplate /> <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="Test" Level="1"> <ComponentGroupRef Id="ProductComponents" /> </Feature> </Product> <Fragment> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="LocalAppDataFolder" Name="AppData"> <Directory Id="AppRootDirectory" Name="TestApp" /> </Directory> </Directory> </Fragment> <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" Directory="AppRootDirectory"> <Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="7AA2DC14-D353-474B-A0DB-C9430753668F"> <RemoveFolder Id="RemoveDir" On="uninstall" Directory="AppRootDirectory" /> <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\TestApp"> <RegistryValue Type="string" Name="Description" Value="[ProductName]" KeyPath="yes" /> </RegistryKey> <File Source="Product.wxs" /> </Component> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> </Wix> Then, I have this bootstrapper: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <Bundle Name="Bootstrapper1" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Someone" UpgradeCode="2f3f318f-a5ef-41cf-96d3-31276b88691f"> <BootstrapperApplicationRef Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" /> <Chain> <MsiPackage SourceFile="..\Test\bin\Debug\Test.msi" /> </Chain> </Bundle> </Wix> When I run the bootstrapper, then increment the Bundle/@Version and the Product/@Version attributes and run the bootstrapper again, the bootstrapper offers the UI for new installations. The Bootstrapper log reads as follows: [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:56]: Burn v3.6.2823.0, Windows v6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1), path: C:\temp\Test\Bootstrapper1\bin\Debug\Bootstrapper1.exe, cmdline: '' [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:57]: Setting string variable 'WixBundleLog' to value 'C:\Users\hkrause\AppData\Local\Temp\Bootstrapper1_20120427110557.log' [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:57]: Setting string variable 'WixBundleOriginalSource' to value 'C:\temp\Test\Bootstrapper1\bin\Debug\Bootstrapper1.exe' [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:57]: Setting string variable 'WixBundleName' to value 'Bootstrapper1' [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:57]: Detect 1 packages [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:57]: Detected related bundle: {49c5e601-b030-423b-a3b0-3bbacca35c84}, type: Upgrade, scope: PerUser, version: 1.0.0.0, operation: MajorUpgrade [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:57]: Detected related package: {B581A39E-7BF2-48FE-B361-E10EB3C34356}, scope: PerUser, version: 1.0.0.0, language: 0 operation: MajorUpgrade [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:57]: Detected package: Test.msi, state: Absent, cached: None [1168:1008][2012-04-27T11:05:57]: Detect complete, result: 0x0 So, it detects a previous version and says it would do an upgrade. But then, the UI for a new installation appears. If I go with the installation, I end up with two ARP entries. Am I doing something wrong with my installer?
