[wix-users] Same version upgrade adding 2 entries in ARP

[Rick Papo]

Can’t say without looking.  For me, upgrade didn’t work until I started incrementing the third number (e.g. 12.0.0 to 12.0.1).  

 

There were other things that needed doing as well:

    

<Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> 

    <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)" OnlyDetect="no" Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED" /> 

    <UpgradeVersion Minimum="12.0.0.0" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)" IncludeMaximum="no" Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" /> 

</Upgrade>

    

<Condition Message="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed.">

    NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED 

</Condition>

 

<InstallExecuteSequence>

    <RemoveExistingProducts Before='InstallInitialize' />

</InstallExecuteSequence> 

 

I was previously using the <MajorUpgrade> feature, but that turned out to be too limited for my needs.  So it got removed.

But the upgrade from 1.0.0.1 to 1.0.0.2 works with the same code.

Normal behavior.  If you want upgrade to work, you have to increment one of
the first three version numbers.  The last one is irrelevant.

Been there, seen that.  Annoyed a customer because I didn't know.

Hi,

I am trying to use MajorUpgrade to upgrade the same version (1.0.0.1 to
newer 1.0.0.1). But could not get it working. I am using same UpgradeCode
and different ProductCode.

<MajorUpgrade AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes"
DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already
installed."
 />

The install ends up adding 2 entries in Add/Remove Programs.
Below is my Bundle.wxs. The last ExePackage entry adds a file at a
particular location (the file name remains same across versions). Can this
ExePackage entry cause a problem?

<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">

  <Bundle Name="..." Version="..." Manufacturer="..."
UpgradeCode="..." Copyright="..." IconSourceFile="..." AboutUrl="...">



    <Chain>

      <ExePackage Id="Accept_License"
SourceFile="$(var.LicDir)Accept_License" />

      <RollbackBoundary />



      <MsiPackage Id="MainPackage"
SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)..\main\bin\x64\Release\Main.msi" />

      <RollbackBoundary />



      <ExePackage Id="Linking"
SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)..\CreateLinks\bin\x64\Release\CreateLinks.exe"
Compressed=*"yes"* Cache=*"yes" *Vital=*"yes" *

        InstallCommand=*"-create "[InstallFolder]"*

        UninstallCommand=*"-remove "[InstallFolder]"*

        DetectCondition=*"VersionAlreadyInstalled"*>

      </ExePackage>



    </Chain>

  </Bundle>

</Wix>


Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Deepali
