Hello, I am stuck with Upgrade (remove any previous version) issues with WiX. I am framing my questions below which I feel might help me if answered. Thank you for your replies in advance.
1. Product Id = "*" and there is a GUID in Upgrade Code. Still whenever I install my product, there is no entry for Upgrade Code is found in Registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall OR HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall) rather a new Product Id (a new random GUID) is found as a new registry key. I have read many blogs and people say that they find a new registry key corresponding to Upgrade Code in their registry not Product code. If this is the case then how 'Upgrade' is supposed to work? 2. I have many custom actions. I want a set of custom actions only when product is installed for the first time so I have given condition as ((NOT Installed) AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE)) however when I run next version msi on top of some existing version, these custom actions still get executed. I did verbose logging and saw that 'Related Products' are found and yet 'NOT Installed' property condition doesn't seem to work. 3. Can we have <MajorUpgrade> and <Upgrade> in same file while scheduling <RemoveExistingProducts> explicitly? I am getting compiler error if I do so. I know that <MajorUpgrade> schedules 'RemoveExistingProducts' by default so if I don't schedule 'RemoveExistingProducts' explicitly then will the <Upgrade> work? Any idea anyone? Need help desperately.
