Hello, First of all, sorry for posting this a second time, but my first post (via nabble) seems to have been rejected, because I hadn't received subscription confirmation mail before.
I am a dev of the cppcheck project and I am trying to improve our installer. We are using WiX, and the original installer was built using WiX 3.5. You can see the original installer code here: https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/tree/master/win_installer I switched to WiX 3.6(.3303), made the necessary changes to source to make it work and made a few improvements: I added several features and removed others. I added some files and added some more <RemoveFile> I set UI to <UIRef Id="WixUI_FeatureTree"/> I did not change existing GUIDs, especially not the UpgradeCode. Id of <Product> is set to "*". But it fails to update existing installations (based on old installer built with 3.5). It moves the new files into the destination directory and a new entry "Cppcheck 1.57 dev" (If I call this Version 1.57 or 1.56.99 doesn't matter - it has no impact on the behaviour of the installer) entry appears in the "Add or Remove a Program" dialog, but the old "Cppcheck 1.56" entry isn't removed. When trying to uninstall, only files that were not already in 1.56 are removed. For previous versions, updating worked (e.g. 1.55 -> 1.56). You can find modified project here: http://kloke-witten.dyndns.org/~philipp/Temp/win_installer.zip Any ideas?
