[wix-users] Problem with version detection

[Hoover, Jacob]

Crippling your bundle because of an old issue seems to be the wrong approach.  If your using MSI's, and you follow the rules, you should be able to easily upgrade...  IE, fix the problem instead of writing code to enable a bad behavior.

Yes, that makes sense.


I am working with OnDetectRelatedBundle  now...


        #region OnDetectRelatedBundle
        public override void OnDetectRelatedBundle(WPFBootstrapperEventArgs<Wix.DetectRelatedBundleEventArgs> e)
        {
            uninstallPriorVersionMessage = Bootstrapper.Engine.FormatString(Bootstrapper.Engine.StringVariables["CannotUpgradeMessage"]);

            // We are going to short-circuit and prevent any upgrades for the time being. When we wish to handle upgrades,
            // this method can be removed and the logic conducted in the OnDetectRelatedMsiPackage.
            if (e.Arguments.RelationType == Wix.RelationType.Upgrade
             && e.Arguments.Operation == Wix.RelatedOperation.MajorUpgrade)
            {
                // Write a message to the log and pop up a messagebox alerting the user.
                AlertAndLogMessage(Wix.LogLevel.Standard, uninstallPriorVersionMessage);

                // Close the installer.
                ShutdownInstaller();
            }
        }
        #endregion OnDetectRelatedBundle

The GUID values in log are the bundle Id which gets a new value on each build.

In your BA you can handle OnDetectRelatedBundle and OnPlanRelatedBundle.
