[wix-users] Bundle upgrade

Mon May 16 10:55:52 PDT 2016

LaunchAction.UpdateReplace is for use when a bundle is downloading an updated bundle for its self-update functionality ala a SetUpdate call.  The DetectUpdate* calls are only going to happen if you have an Update element in your bundle authoring pointing at an atom feed about your bundle.

What did you use as a starting point for your MBA? (The WixBA source is available for reference.)  It really sounds like you are inadvertently overriding the default behavior of the engine which would uninstall the prior bundle, assuming you haven't erroneously changed the /Bundle[@UpgradeCode].  If you needed to change UpgradeCode's then you would need a <RelatedBundle Id="OldUpgradeCode" Action="Upgrade" /> in your bundle authoring.

No, I have no call to SetUpdate nor an <Update> element. 

Perhaps I should clarify: I'm not trying to have my MBA look for a newer version. I have built and installed, eg, v1.0.0 of my app and installer. I make changes to the app, build v1.0.1 of app and installer, and run the new installer: I want it to replace v1.0.0.

Are you calling SetUpdate?  Does your bundle include an Update element?

I already had a handler for DetectUpdate, and I have added ones DetectUpdateBegin and DetectUpdateComplete, but none of them appears to be called. 

DetectRelatedBundle *is* called, with RelationType == RelationType.Upgrade and Operation == RelatedOperation.MajorUpgrade (which would seem to be right to me). 

However, if I call Plan(LaunchAction.UpdateReplace), the install fails with the error below, and if I call Plan(LaunchAction.Install) the install succeeds but the old version is not uninstalled.

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.
