[wix-users] Already Installed Error not showing

[Habib Salim]

I could be wrong but your installer is jumping to the last screen because
there is nothing to do.  the installed version is the same as the
installer version.
When you recompile, the product id changes or the version changes - (if
you are doing that) so it raises the error.

Are you looking for it to reinstall/repair the installation when you
re-run it?  or are you just looking for a confirmation/error that this
version has been installed previously?

Subject: [wix-users] Already Installed Error not showing

I am building an MSI with custom dialogs, but I am not customizing the
Welcome Dialog. I have a valid Product ID and Upgrade ID and
AllowSameVersionUpgrades is also not there. The following is the UI code,
which is being referenced in my Product.wxs.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

      <TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Title" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="9"

      <Property Id="DefaultUIFont" Value="WixUI_Font_Normal" />

      <!--Standard Dialog References needed to compile-Starts-->

    <UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" /> </Fragment> </Wix>

First time, the installer runs fine and installs the files. But from the
next time, it is not showing the error that, it is already installed.
Rather it jumps from the first to the last screen in a flash. But if I
rebuild this MSI project in VS and run the new installer, it shows the
error. I am not sure what am I doing wrong. Can anyone please help?
