[wix-users] DetectRelatedMsiPackage

[Huy Doan]

I am not sure but from my understanding, the upgrade code is used to detect related components during the upgrade process. Two different products (different versions of the same product) would have different product codes. So upgrade code is there to show that who are related. 

I did a debugging at bundle level and see that product codes are used in dependencies.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [wix-users] DetectRelatedMsiPackage

I have a bundle with two packages which have different product codes but the same upgrade code.  While installing a Major Upgrade in my custom BA, the DetectRelatedMsiPackage event is getting triggered once for each package but reporting the same product code both times.  e.g.

e.ProductCode = <guid 1>, e.PackageId = package_name1

and then

e.ProductCode = <guid 1>, e.PackageId = package_name2

Can anyone suggest why this is happening?  I would expect this event to be triggered once with Product Code 1, and again with Product Code 2.  I am on Wix 3.10.

Thanks,
Brian
