When silent uninstall of old version happens

[sonda]

Hi there,
I have two installers MyInstaler.1.0.0.1.exe and MyInstaler.1.0.3.1.exe the third number is not the same. When build on I edit the .aip set the version with /SetVersion and that's is how I know that product code is changed.

This is how it look Upgrades page :

Upgrades.png (42.23 KiB) Viewed 10972 times

Now the problem is that when a newer version is started to be installed older version is still present, and when the wizard will come to a place where ports need to be checked it says ports are used, and yes are used because the older version is still present, so not sure when uninstalling process of the older version is beginning to happen.
I don't want to add custom action for uninstalling since I want an automatic upgrade to take care of this process and not to be disturbing for the user.

i use this command when editing aip AdvancedInstaller.com /edit "c:\Installer\MyInstall.aip" /SetVersion $(Release.ReleaseName) and both installers should be build from same .aip. What I'm doing wrong not sure.

Any info will be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,

There is nothing that you do wrong here, but the problem is that the uninstallation of the old version is performed during the "Remove Resources" action group which happens when the "ProgressDlg" dialog is displayed. So, during an upgrade, the old version will always be available on the machine when the wizard dialogs are displayed.

Since the port is kept in use by the old version, I think that you can skip the dialog that contains that check by using the "Show only if..." option available when you right-click on that dialog with the following condition: NOT OLDPRODUCTS
