I use the following condition to support upgrade in my msi
<Property Id='PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED' Secure='yes' />
<Upgrade Id='$(var.ProductUpgradeCode)'>
<UpgradeVersion Minimum='1.0.0.0'
Maximum='99.0.0.0'
Property='PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED'
IncludeMinimum='yes'
IncludeMaximum='no' />
</Upgrade>
..............
.............
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CloseAppsPrompt" After="CostFinalize"></Custom>
<RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize"/>
<Custom Action="ConfigClient" After="InstallFiles">NOT REMOVE</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
This msi is chained in a custom bootstrapper bundle.
In my custom UI I enable repair button if the already installed version of
the msi is same as current version. The problem I am facing is repair is
only uninstalling the already installed package. It does not install the
package again. For testing repair I deleted few of the installed files from
the install location of the package and then run in repair mode.
Here is the extract from bootstrapper log.
state: Present, default requested: Absent, ba requested: Absent, execute:
None, rollback: None, cache: No, uncache: No, dependency: Register
Am I missing any properties to support Repair in my msi. I have to support
major and minor upgrade of the msi also. Upgrade is working as expected.
Repair only uninstalls the msi. Does not install it again.
