[wix-users] WiX Bundle Upgrade Issue [P]

[Nir Bar]

WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED is set in the "new" packageIf you want to disable the clean-up in the "old" package (the one being uninstalled during the upgrade) condition it with "Not UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE"

Subject: [wix-users] WiX Bundle Upgrade Issue 
 
I have a bundle/bootstrapper that contains a EXE and MSI. There is a custom action in the MSI that performs clean-up of data files that are generated by the application. This custom action is scheduled to run on MSI uninstall only. 
 
I am finding that when the bundle gets upgraded, it performs an uninstall of the old bundle before installing the new one. However, by uninstalling the old bundle the MSI clean-up custom action is run - this is not something I want. 
 
Is there additional information that can be passed to the MSI to let it know it's a bundle upgrade instead of an uninstall? Is there a way to work around the bundle behaviour described?
