Re: Predefined Prerequisites
Your support team suggested I include everything into an exe as I'm using the enhanced installer - and I can't get that to run w/ your msiexec /i "C:\MyPackage\Example.msi" /L*V "C:\log\example.log" command example. Does it have to be an msi?

Re: web.config replacement
If I keep the web.config on uninstall, can I condition the new web.config on install to not overwrite? If so, how? Thanks.

Re: Best practices SQL change scripts?
Got it. This was the info I was missing.You cannot have several product code values in OLDPRODUCTS property unless you're using "Allow side by side installs of different product versions".

Re: Best practices SQL change scripts?
We are not going to allow side by side versions.
I was under the assumption that oldproducts was a list of versions that have been installed on said computer. Is it instead all old versions in the product's lifecycle?
Regardless, If old products has 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and you're installing 1.5 - how ...

Re: Best practices SQL change scripts?
The First approach is what I want to do but I don't know HOW to do the following:
-> create a custom action that uses the information from the OLDPRODUCTS property to determine which SQL script files need to run
-> that custom action should set a public property for each SQL file
-> you can use each ...

Please advise how to condition scripts for this scenario:
Latest version 1.5. Prior released versions were 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4. User had version 1.0 installed.
SQL files included in sql connection:
1.5.install.sql:

Re: Best practices SQL change scripts?
Are you available by skype? If old products contains version 1.2, it will contain version 1.2 the next update, and thus rerun the same script via your logic. I'd think knowing last installed version would be required, so then I could somehow batch up the scripts necessary to get to the latest ...

Re: Best practices SQL change scripts?
Getting a list of installed product codes or a blank list helps conditionally run the fresh install script, but I don't understand how that helps me run a batch of version to version upgrade scripts. Can I tell what version they're updating from?

Re: IIS Config Hang
W/ UAC turned off the installer runs ok. I tried on another server w/ and w/out UAC and it installed ok - so must be something up with the machine. Thanks!
