I expect A' is a major upgrade of A. There issue is that B knows nothing about A' (and C) and C doesn't have enough information to install A when it uninstalls A'.
In this scenario, a repair of B is necessary. Somewhere there was a feature for C to automatically repair B (if there was some bundle relationship between them), that I *think* is in v3.9. However, if you have no relationship between C and B there isn't anything Burn knows to fix it. It's a known gap around a problem that is impossible solve correctly without significant sharing of information between potentially different lineages of WiX code... which we're unprepared to try to solve. Workaround: Repair B. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper [mailto:jocoo...@jackhenry.com] Sent: Friday, April 10, 2015 2:45 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn and chaining multiple MSIs and detecting proper states for each MSI Is A' a major or minor upgrade of A? Is the ProductCode the same or different for A' and A? What is the difference in version numbers? What does the bundle log say when it is selecting A for removal? -- John Merryweather Cooper Senior Software Engineer | Integration Development Group | Continuing Development Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® | Lenexa, KS 66214 | Ext: 431050 |jocoo...@jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: victorwhiskey [mailto:victorhwhis...@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, April 10, 2015 4:08 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn and chaining multiple MSIs and detecting proper states for each MSI This is my scenario, I have 2 different bundles, B and C. They each have 2 MSIs chained with a common MSI A or A' (a newer version of A). If I installed bundle B which has A then I install C which has A', I'm expecting B to install B and A, then C to install and upgrade A to A'. I am getting this as the result. However, what I didn't expect was when I removed one product, lets say C, MSI A was removed breaking bundle B. Now with my understanding of component counting if I install Bundle B then Bundle C the component counts to all the components in A will be 2 and A will be upgraded to A'. Now when I uninstall either of the Bundles A got removed which is not what I'm expecting. What's wrong in the this logic? I'm expecting MSI A to still be present with the remaining Bundle that I did not uninstall. What can I do to keep MSI A still installed with this type of deployment strategy? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-and-chaining-multiple-MSIs-and-detecting-proper-states-for-each-MSI-tp7599891p7599903.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
