Re: How to detect when a feature is being removed by an upgrade?
Hi Catalin,
Is there any way to do this for one particular feature?
I do not want to lose the information about the other features which have been installed. If not, I suppose a workaround could be to rename the feature in version 2.0 so that it installs anyway.

Re: How to detect when a feature is being removed by an upgrade?
Hi Catalin, Sorry for the confusing question. What I really want is not to always install the feature, but only install it if that particular condition is met. The problem is that, during an upgrade, the installer sees that my feature was not installed in Version 1.0, so it does not install it in Ve...

Re: How to detect when a feature is being removed by an upgrade?
Hi Catalin, I just have one follow-up question about this. In my previous example, I was dealing with a brand new feature in version 2.0. However, now I would like to install a feature that already existed in version 1.0 but was not installed. I am using this condition for "Installed if": ...

Re: How to detect when a feature is being removed by an upgrade?
This helped a lot. I discovered that my problem was using an incorrect condition to detect an upgrade (UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODES instead of OLDPRODUCTS) but when I fixed that, the search worked. Thank you very much for the detailed explanation!

Re: How to detect when a feature is being removed by an upgrade?
Hi Catalin, Thank you for the response. I may not completely understand the "Search" feature, but how can I use this to detect that a feature is being removed from an upgrade? For example, consider this scenario: 1. Version 1.0 may or may not install Feature A. 2. Version 2.0 removes Featu...

How to detect when a feature is being removed by an upgrade?
I have an upgrade where some features are being removed and ultimately replaced with different features. Is there an install condition I can use in the upgrade that will only install the new feature if the old one was present in the previous installation?

Re: Failure Operations not working
After comparing with an installer that was working properly, I discovered that somehow certain rows were removed for things like AI_ConfigFailActions and AI_ProcessFailActions. I could not find in the UI where these actions were removed, nor do I know how it happened. After manually adding them back...

Failure Operations not working
I am attempting to create Failure Operations for my services. This is when installing on Windows Server 2016 using an exe created by Advanced Installer 16.8. I simply am left with the defaults of "Take No Action", despite attempting to change the failure actions to "Restart the servic...
