Thanks for the reply (Schedule major upgrade late and ensure Component Rules are followed. ) Rob.
I'm not sure I follow. Hopefully I'm following the component rules as all resources used more than once are only installed via one MSI in the GAC - lets call it SharedComponents.msi. In my (simplified) chain, I have -ProductA.msi -ProductB.msi -ProductC.msi -SharedComponents.msi. SharedComponents.msi gets installed when either product A,B or C are installed. If I schedule a major upgrade late (schedule RemoveExistingProducts after InstallFinalize) and define the MsiPackage in the chain with a DownloadURL, will this effectively a) Skip downloading the SharedComponents.msi as it will already be in the cache b) run but ultimately leave the resources untouched as it would (usually) have no updates and no removals due to being the same MSI ? Thanks again. Sorry if this is a silly Q - the problem I have is that we generally only have to update our installers every 6-8 months, by which time I've forgotten everything <sheepish grin>. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Leave-components-installed-between-upgrades-but-not-permanent-tp7596436p7596468.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
