Hello, How do you make make Burn do a MinorUpgrade? For the sake of simplicity let's assume, there's only a single MsiPackage in the bundle.
So we have Bundle v0.1.0 with MSI v0.1.0 installed. When installing Bundle v0.1.0 with MSI v0.2.0, burn correctly executes the MSI installation as MinorUpgrade. However, the ARP entry of Bundle v0.1.0 remains intact. Uninstalling it manually works OK, but is a nuisance. Previously Rob said, that Burn should (arguably) be doing nothing in this case (c.f https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29466851) So incrementing the bundle's version seemed the right thing to do. Indeed, installing Bundle v0.2.0 with MSI v0.2.0 correctly executed the MinorUpgrade as before. Then Burn decides to uninstall the Bundle v0.1.0: [1138:2B08][2012-07-17T11:36:04]: Planned package: <MSI>.msi, state: Present, default requested: Present, ba requested: Present, execute: MinorUpgrade, rollback: None, cache: Yes, uncache: Yes, dependency: Register [1138:2B08][2012-07-17T11:36:04]: Planned related bundle: {<Bundle v0.1.0 GUID>}, type: Upgrade, default requested: Absent, ba requested: Absent, execute: Uninstall, rollback: Install, dependency: None However, this not only removed the ARP entry but the installation of the MSI itself, too. Is that a bug or a feature? BTW : the UpdgradeCodes of the Bundles and MSIs respectively are identical, as is the ProviderKey of the bundles. Basically I'd just like to replace "msiexec /i <MSI>.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus" by a bootstrapper.
