[wix-users] Bundle upgrade

[John Cooper]

You need to make sure it is a true MajorUpdate.  DetectUpdate, DetectUpdateBegin, and DetectUpdateComplete are useful for this.

Then, for my "Update" button execute command, I call Plan(LaunchAction.UpdateReplace) for a true MajorUpdate and Plan(LaunchAction.Install) for all others.

The e-mail below is from an external source.  Please do not open attachments or click links from an unknown or suspicious origin.

I'm calling Engnie.Plan(LaunchAction.Install).

I've tried LaunchAction.UpdateReplace and UpdateReplaceEmbedded but then the installation fails completely and the log file shows:

  Error 0x8000ffff: Invalid package type.
  Error 0x8000ffff: Failed to calculate plan actions for package: (null)
  Error 0x8000ffff: Failed to plan execute package.
  Error 0x8000ffff: Failed to process update package.
  Error 0x8000ffff: Failed to plan update.

Hi Kevin,
In my DetectRelatedBundle, after detecting if it is MajorUpgrade, i.e.
if (e.Operation == RelatedOperation.MajorUpgrade || e.Operation ==
RelatedOperation.MinorUpdate)
{
  //Signal to enable Upgrade Button, binded to UpgardeCommand.
}

And then I'm calling Launch.Install in my UpgradeCommand.

I think, PlanRelatedBundle is not handling with Upgrade scenario.
