Hi!
I'm developing a managed bootstrapper application, and have run into a peculiar
problem. I'm testing the following scenario for a simple single-package bundle:
* Install version 1.0
* Upgrade to version 1.1
* Run the version 1.1 installer again
When doing this, the package is detected as absent in the third step, which
confuses my MBA. If I skip the upgrade and instead just install 1.1 from
scratch and then run the installer again, the package is detected as present.
What could cause this?
The requirement I have is that running the installer for a version which is
already installed should present the user with an uninstall option. But if an
upgrade has taken place, I can't get it to work.
I have an event logger which shows this during the detect phase:
[062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i100: Detect begin, 1 packages
[062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i000: Intercepted DetectBegin event. Parameters:
Installed = True
PackageCount = 1
Result = None
[062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i000: Intercepted DetectPackageBegin event.
Parameters:
PackageId = TheProduct.msi
Result = None
[062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i000: Intercepted DetectPackageComplete event.
Parameters:
PackageId = TheProduct.msi
State = Absent
Status = 0
[062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i101: Detected package: TheProduct.msi, state:
Absent, cached: Complete
[062C:066C][2014-08-12T15:02:30]i000: Intercepted DetectComplete event.
Parameters:
Status = 0
So I see that it is installed, but the package is absent...
Thankful for any insights!
Best regards,
Carl
