问题 I have created a wix exe using burn bootstrapper. When I try to do a major upgrade on it, the new version gets installed. The features missing in the new upgrade are also removed from the existing folder structure. But in "Add or Remove Programs" I can still find both the installations. I have incremented the version from 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.1.0 in Bootstrapper project's Bundle.wxs file. I have also incremented the version in Setup project's Product element from 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.1.0.

how to change from per user to all user installation?

阅读更多关于 how to change from per user to all user installation?

问题 For our msi , we did not mention allusers property in existing releases. so by default it went as per user. Our customers installed the application using an admin user id and that admin left the company. So his user id is no more in valid condition. Now they are unable to migrate to newer version using another admin account (as it was installed as per user). Though we can change our msi to support allusers ,it would not work in migration (major upgrade). It seems like only when we give total

Upgrading a WiX generated package with major version zero

It seemed like the WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED variable was never populated. Then I ran across WiX3 major upgrade not working where the accepted answer states that: All setup versions (again, not file versions) must be 1.0 or greater. And indeed temporarily bumping the major version of both packages to 1 seemed to fix the issue. However I can't retroactively change the version of the old package as it is already installed on thousands of

How to prevent Wix from installing an older version?

阅读更多关于 How to prevent Wix from installing an older version?

I have an application that we are switching over to a WiX installer. So far almost everything seems to be going well. The one problem I'm having is that if an older version is downloaded and attempted to install, it does so. And that's a bit of a problem. If there is a newer version installed I don't want it to install the older version. I thought the problem was with the "Upgrade" component but I must admit I've hit a wall. How can I change it so that the older versions see there is a newer version already installed and not install it? My test product is now in version 2.4 (the newest version

阅读更多关于 Majorupgrade or Upgrade ID which is preferred for Major upgrade?

We are trying to do Major upgrade. While i was investigating i found 2 approaches. One is using Upgrade Id and another one approach was Majorupgrade tag. It seems Majorupgrade is easy to do it seems.

I have a very simple WiX project (version 3.7) that installs somes files (a .NET program version 6.0.0.0). I'm ready to release a new version 6.0.1.0 using the MajorUpgrade functionality in WiX. I'm keeping the UpgradeCode the same in the Product element and I change the Version from 6.0.0.0 to 6.0.1.0 <Product Id="*" Name="MyApp" Version="6.0.1.0" Manufacturer="Me" UpgradeCode="$(var.TheUpgradeCodeGUID)"> On a machine with 6.0.0.0 installed, I run the new installer.
