Subject: [WiX-users] How to Uninstall ExePackage Only During Uninstall My ExePackage gets uninstalled during upgrades and I'd like to only uninstall during an actual uninstall. Any suggestions on how I might go about doing this? I was hoping I could do something in my bafunctions.dll but I'm hitting a wall in my brainstorming. My bundle consists of the following: * A few pre-requisites (A) that will remain on the system after uninstall * A pre-requisite ExePackage (B) that will be uninstalled only when my product MSI is uninstalled * My product MSI (C) The package order in the chain is as follows: <chain> <PackageGroupRef Id="A"/> <PackageGroupRef Id="B"/> <PackageGroupRef Id="C"/> </chain> B is an ExePackage that has DetectCondition and InstallCondition set. During an install or uninstall the packages run in the expected order: * Install: A, B, C * Uninstall: C, B However, during an upgrade I get an undesired order. A and B are not upgraded because they are detected as already existing at the correct version. C is upgraded to the new version. The last thing the new bundle does is to uninstall the related bundle. In the log for the related bundle uninstall I see that B is marked as Obsolete so it is uncached and unregistered. BUT C is detected as Present and is thus selected to be uninstalled. * Upgrade: C, UninstallRelatedBundle(B) I'd like to only uninstall B when C is uninstalled. I think I have my DetectCondition setup properly to install B when the new bundle contains a new version of B. However, I never want to uninstall B during an upgrade. B should be uninstalled only during an uninstall. -- Edwin G.
