I have a MSI build using WiX version 3.
All previous installers for the product we are deploying worked fine with the configuration specified (that is: if previous version exists, remove, then install the new version) - however, the new MSIs we build don't install all files when it runs through the 'remove first' path.
If we manually remove the existing installation and then run the new version all the files are installed - and when I examine the MSI file in Orca the files and features are shown and seem to be fine.
We have tried running with verbose and extra logging turned on (/l*vx
) however all we can see if that the files are not being registered & then installed.
Any thoughts or suggestions? This is driving us up the wall.
