Upgrading feature problem

Hi,

We have created a new version of our installer but we have some problems with upgrading previous versions because we added a new feature in the new package.
When upgrading the previous version where the new feature wasn't there the new package just installs the new feature which we dont want.
The new feature may only be installed when it is a new install or if the previous version already had the new feature installed (for future version) if the feature in the previous version never was there it should not install it.

We can't find a way to do this i hope i can get some advise or examples how to do this.

Greetings, Jack Fundter

Re: Upgrading feature problem

Hi Jack,

In order to achieve what you want, you can go in the Organization page, select the feature that you want to set a condition for, click on the "Add install-time conditions" blue link, select the "Not installed" radio button then write the following condition in the "Installed if" field: NOT OLDPRODUCTS OR &FEATUREIDENTIFIER=3

Let us know if this helped, otherwise give us more details about your scenario.
