[wix-users] Upgrade Failure Leaves No Products Installed

[John Cooper]

To get a re-install of the old product, you want a scheduling of After InstallInitialize.  The easiest way to get this right is to use the MajorUpgrade element.

RemoveExistingProducts is scheduled before InstallInitialize currently (when I look in Orca, I didn't consciously choose this order).

Behavior on a failed upgrade depends directly on the scheduling of RemoveExistingProducts.  See the documentation for the MajorUpgrade element.  What is your scheduling?

I have an installer, and I wanted to make sure that an upgrade failure functions correctly. So I have 2 versions of my installer. I installed the old version, then installed the new version with WIXFAILWHENDEFERRED=1. The new version installs, fails, roll backs, but then never reinstalls the old version.

Anyone have any idea what might be happening?
