[wix-users] MBA: Leave packages unmodified on update

[Rob Mensching]

Looks like the old bundle isn't playing along with your plan (hah! Me so punny!).

What do the log files (for the new and the old bundles) say for the plan exactly?

Hi all,

we would like some packages of our mba to remain unmodified during update. That means the old version should stay on the system - neither updated nor uninstalled.
We tried to achieve this by setting args.State = RequestState.None in the BootstrapperApplication. PlanPackageBegin Event fort he packages in question.
Unfortunately we observed, that the packages in question are nevertheless removed during an update-Installation.

Is it possible to achieve our goal? Or are all packages either updated or removed on an update?

Thanks in advance,
Heiner.
