The general approach to doing this is to condition the uninstall of the web site on UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE so it doesn't get uninstalled if it's being upgraded. If you already shipped the product it's too late for that.
In the incoming upgrade you'd check for the existence of the web site and do whatever changes are required to bring it up to the new product requirements. This is useful functionality to provide anyway because it's what you want a repair to do. However it may not be in the WiX extension. --------------- Phil Wilson On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 2:41 PM, Rob Mensching <r...@firegiant.com> wrote: > Sorry, I missed the implied statement that you wanted uninstall to uninstall > as well.
