[wix-users] RelatedBundle Action attribute

[Hoover, Jacob]

Detect and Upgrade are similar, however I've not had to use Addon or Patch.

Detect only detects a related bundle, so it would require a custom BA to decide "oh you found this, and even though it's detect only I want to modify the plan and do Y". 

Upgrade is easy.  Assuming you've authored an upgrade code in your initial bundle, subsequent bundles can relate to them via their upgrade codes.  Note, since you can't see the future, the registration gets "reversed" in such a way that the new bundle in arp publishes that it is an upgrade to the older bundle. If an older bundle is ran, it is this registration that gets queried to find out a newer version is installed, so don't downgrade.

Subject: Re: [wix-users] RelatedBundle Action attribute

Looking to bump this question since I don't see any reply.

I'm also looking into creative uses for the RelatedBundle element, but when I play around with the different values I'm not getting the results I would personally expect. Is there any place that explains what each of these option were designed 'for' and what they're expected behaviors are?

Thanks!
Joel
