Hi Phil,
I am not sure that I understand.
The scenario is that I am trying to install the same product as one that is
already installed but with a different version (i.e. I am trying to install an
older version of the same product, and I am looking to provide a way to fail
gracefully).
FYI -- I have tried a different approach which was to add the
WixExitEarlyWithSuccess, but I cannot seem to get that to work either. I have
followed all of the steps outlined in:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wixexitearlywithsuccess.htm but I see
the same results.
Thanks,
Carl

Error 1638 isn't related to anything you do internally by denying certain
installs for your own internal reasons. It's returned when the install
cannot even proceed because you're trying to install a package with the same
ProductCode (or PackageCode) as one that's already installed, but with a
different version (and in non maintenance mode).

Subject: [WiX-users] MSI install returning error 1603 when it should return
1638
Hi All,
I have setup my MSI so that it detects when a newer (higher version) is
installed. This works fine from a human interface point of view (i.e. I get
a message saying that a later version is already installed). However when
another product tries to install my MSI they are expecting to get the 1638
MSI error (ERROR_PRODUCT_VERSION), but instead we are seeing the 1603 MSI
error (ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE).
Can anyone help?
FYI -- Here are snippets of my wxs file with the relevant info:
<Upgrade
Id="{2DE4B44F-6886-4b1e-BF91-BD0236D428D9}">
<UpgradeVersion
Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED"
Minimum="2.7.0.0" Maximum="!(bind.FileVersion.ccsw32.dll)"
IncludeMinimum="yes"
IncludeMaximum="yes"
OnlyDetect="no"/>
<UpgradeVersion Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED"
Minimum="!(bind.FileVersion.ccsw32.dll)"
IncludeMinimum="no"
OnlyDetect="yes"/>
</Upgrade>
<Condition Message="A later version of [ProductName] is already installed.
Setup will now exit.">
NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED OR Installed </Condition>
___________
I am seeing in the log file that NEWERVERSIONDETECTED property is added.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Carl
