MsiProperty "on the fly" and Minor upgrade/downgrade.

[Tomas Kubik]

Hello,

I have two question about managed bootstrapper in Wix3.6RC.

Firstly, I cant find a way to set up MsiProperty "on the fly". I need setup REINSTALL=ALL only if i reinstall the application.
If I set it in WXS (static) then normal installation failed... i guess it is only for reinstall mode :)
Or how add parameter for log of msi (for comparing with classic MSI installation log).

Second question is Minor upgrade or downgrade (only Product version is changed). What enum for Plan i have to use for this kind of update? LaunchAction.Repair or LaunchAction.Modify?
I tried LaunchAction.Repair but reinstall was slower than classic msi built-in solution. In my opinion the operation was made several times (i guess according to MSIMessages) + at the end of repairing is new bootstrapper instance launched.
This instance do some kind of uninstall operation, which remove install packages and link of updated version of application (in add/remove programs) is invalid.
(Connected problem : Can I set the path for installation packages in add/remove programs (in registry?) before/during installation? Or why is uninstall at the end of reinstall?)
Launch.Install make a new version and i have two entries in Add/Remove programs... Maybe i am naive but does exist any documentation for this?:)

We used EmbeddedUI in WiX in the past and we launched reinstall process with REINSTALL=ALL, REINSTALLMODE=vemusc and it was without problems.
We would like to have the same process with MBA.

Thanks for some advice.
Tom.

Burn does that for you during a repair.

Use Install; Burn automatically handles minor upgrades that way. You can
try a repair to downgrade a package, though I don't know how well it
will work.

Update the bundle version number.

Hi,

Thank you. I try minor upgrade with your recommends and it looks OK. Super :)
But downgrade with "install" mode is doing nothing. If i try "repair" mode, the installation failed with this log:

What steps are usually recommended in this case? Old version of installer is not able reinstall newer version (repair as well as uninstall).
I have to use only newer version for uninstalling.... Any solution for this?

Thanks for your time :)
Tom

The method Burn uses to repair apparently won't downgrade. I don't see a
workaround so feel free to file a feature request.
