Burn does not control the scheduling of a major upgrade. The <MajorUpgrade> element (if used) or manual scheduling of RemoveExistingProducts does. Phil is entirely correct.
Note that the versioning rules for the target and upgrade MSI's must be followed for major upgrade to work. -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Enterprise Service Applications | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Marco Tognacci [mailto:mark...@live.it] Sent: Tuesday, November 4, 2014 7:55 AM To: WiX - users Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Force a MajorUpgrade to do complete uninstall BEFORE new install I have posted the same question a few days ago and I have received the same answer, I think it's a bug of WiX Burn.I this way I can't execute upgrade of the Burn package as it creates many problems to my application that will not work fine.I need even to add a custom action to clear some folders that contains files generated at runtime, but in this way it will delete even the new files installed as the uninstall operation will execute after install.If I can't find a way to make this working I'll be forced to search for another tool to make my setup projects.Thanks. > From: mark...@live.it > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2014 23:42:21 +0100 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Force a MajorUpgrade to do complete uninstall > BEFORE new install > > I have the same problem I haven't set the Schedule property of the > MajorUpgrade as the default is "afterInstallValidate" and this is prior to > install, so is there a bug? > > > Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2014 10:41:25 -0800 > > From: shane_cor...@selinc.com > > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Force a MajorUpgrade to do complete > > uninstall BEFORE new install > > > > Right now it's scheduled as afterInstallValidate.
