[wix-users] Wix boostrapper not calling msi file during uninstall when DisplayInternalUI is set to yes in bundle.

[vakul]

Dear concerned,

 

I have an existing wix msi project with full fledged UI. I created a wix
bundle and referenced the msi project in this bootstrapper project. It
installs the msi perfectly but during uninstall it only removes the entry
from the Add or remove Programs, but doesn't call the msi when
DisplayInternalUI="yes" for the msi package. But when the
DisplayInternalUI="no" for msi package, then  it uninstalls correctly by
calling the msi package. How to get around this issue. As, I can't set the
DisplayInternalUI to no, I want msi UI to be displayed during install. Is
there a way to turn DisplayInternalUI to no during uninstall and to yes
during install. Here is my bundle code:

 

<Bundle Name="$(var.ProductName)" Version="$(var.ProductVersion)"
Manufacturer="CMiC" UpgradeCode="8ee48a23-b6fc-4594-b3b2-d4c4bebb78d2"  >

    <BootstrapperApplicationRef
Id="WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense" >

      <bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication      SuppressOptionsUI="yes"
LicenseUrl="" />

    </BootstrapperApplicationRef>

     <Log PathVariable="LOGPATH_PROP" Disable="yes"
Prefix='[WixBundleOriginalSource]' Extension=".txt" />

    <util:RegistrySearch Id="Office2007_Installed" Variable="OFFICE2007"
Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\InstallRoot"
Result="exists" />

    <util:RegistrySearch Id="VSTOR_Installed" Variable="VSTOR40"
Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VSTO Runtime Setup\v4R" Result="exists"
/>

    <util:RegistrySearch Id="VSTOR_Installed1" Variable="VSTOR40_1"
Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VSTO Runtime Setup\v4" Result="exists"
/>

    <util:RegistrySearch Id="VSTOR_Installed2" Variable="VSTOR40_2"
Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VSTO Runtime Setup\v4"
Result="exists" />

    <util:RegistrySearch Id="VSTOR_Installed3" Variable="VSTOR40_3"
Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VSTO Runtime Setup\v4R"
Result="exists" />

 

              <Chain>

                     <!-- TODO: Define the list of chained packages. -->

                     <!-- <MsiPackage SourceFile="path\to\your.msi" /> -->

      <ExePackage  Id="INSTALLVSTO" SourceFile="vstor_redist.exe"
Vital="yes"  Compressed="no" Permanent="yes" 

 
DownloadUrl="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=158917"

                  InstallCommand="/q /norestart"

                  DetectCondition="VSTOR40 OR VSTOR40_1 OR VSTOR40_2 OR
VSTOR40_3"

                  InstallCondition="NOT (VSTOR40 OR VSTOR40_1 OR VSTOR40_2
OR VSTOR40_3)" />

      <RollbackBoundary />

 

      <!--<ExePackage Compressed="default"   SourceFile="$(var.CMiC
ECM.TargetDir)setup.exe" Vital="yes" >

        <Payload SourceFile="$(var.CMiC ECM.TargetPath)"/>

      </ExePackage>-->

      

      <MsiPackage Id="Plugin"  Compressed="no"  DisplayName="msi name"
Name="msi name"  SourceFile="$(var.CMiC ECM.TargetDir)msi name" Vital="yes"
DisplayInternalUI="yes" Permanent="no" >

      

      </MsiPackage>

   

              </Chain>

       </Bundle>

 

Also, in logs when the uninstall is successful it shows msi state as
present, but when it is  unsuccessful, it shows the state of msi as absent
.I am using wix 3.10.3.3007 .

 

 

Best regards,

Vakul
