Product GUID of chained Packages

[Maverick]

Hello,

I have a Master-Setup and include another msi as a chained package. In the Table editor I see the Productcode of the chained msi and the code is correct. (this code is used from the master setup to uninstall the chained package)
Now I change the chainedpackage and it gets a new Productid(major Upgrade).
When I rebuild the master setup the Productcode from the included chained package is not updated to the new Product code. In order to get the new code I have to delete and add the package again.
With a lot of chained packages that is a lot of effort to do.

Why are the productcodes of chained packages not updated during rebuild?

Regards

Gary

Hi Gary,

This behavior is caused by a bug in Advanced Installer. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, the fix will be out in a future version.
Meanwhile you can build the installer directly without checking the "Table Editor" in the Advanced Installer GUI.

All the best,
Mihai

Hi Mihai,

the workaround is no option because AI uses the wrong productcode and a deinstall of the updated chained installation does not work then.

so i have to wait for the update. Is there a timeline for it?

If you want I can test a beta release for you as soon one is available.

Regards

Gary
