If Product/@Id was not changing you were not major upgrading your packages.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Package detected as absent if previously updated Hm, I noticed I there were warnings when compiling the msi file, the Product/@Id was not set to "*", and the Package/@Id was set. When I set product id to "*" and removed package id, this behaviour seems to go away. Could this be the actual cause, or is this an unrelated "bad thing", and it just started mysteriously working anyway?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Package detected as absent if previously updated Hi, What I mean is that I have a newer version of the bundle, which installs the new version and removes the old version. Does that answer the question? It seems DetectRelatedPackage does not fire, and neither does DetectRelatedBundle (The log covered the entire detect phase). I'll do some more tests and see if that could be related.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Package detected as absent if previously updated Something doesn't compute there. Can you be a bit more specific about what upgrade in step 2 means? Also, does OnDetectRelatedPackage provide useful info? _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Carl Pettersson [mailto:carl.petters...@tobii.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 6:13 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Package detected as absent if previously updated 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!
