QUESTION

WiX Installer wrong about newer version already installed

Asked 2020-Jan-26 at 16:10

I have used WiX Install tools in Visual Studio to create create an installer for my C# Windows Forms application.

The Installer works when invoked independently (command line or double-click); it uninstalls the existing version (1.0.1.2) and installs the new version (1.0.2.1) but the objective is to have SCCM push the application out to our 50+ workstations.

Answers to questions that have been asked:

It is configured in SCCM as an Application. This is only my third experience with SCCM, I am not familiar with Packages.

The Detection Method is 2 Rules:
Product Code {81748469-6B08-4C6C-99B5-BFCE7202FE06} must exist.
File %ProgramFiles%\PHSRP\PHSRP_Dashboard.exe with Modified Date >= 7/2/2019 12:00:00 AM must be present.

The installation is failing when SCCM is pushing it out. The installation log indicates that the installer believes that a newer version already exists, but this is not true.

From Log: What product does this product code from the log file belong to?

QUESTION

Remove XLL addin when multiple XLL addins are installed

Asked 2019-Aug-01 at 17:14

I've written a Excel-Dna based Addin in C#. Used the following technique to register it at users computer (from WixInstaller and ManageOpenKey):

Locate the active Excel version key in registry (16.0 for this example): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\Options
Write the path of the XLL in the first available string value named "OPEN". As seen in this screenshot, my Addin is written at "OPEN1" key.

Everything works as expected in the installation, but the problem starts if one of the addins is uninstalled using WixInstaller.

For example, if value "OPEN" is removed, addins at "OPEN1" and "OPEN2" will stop functioning. Excel explicitly looks for "OPEN", "OPEN1", "OPENXXX" sequence and if one of the values is missing - it stops enumerating. I checked the source code of ManageOpenKey - it "blindly" removes the addin key even if this operation breaks the sequence.

Only solution I am thinking, is to write a function that re-orders all the keys. This does not look so difficult, but my question is: Have anyone found a solution for this?

Yes you would have to rewrite the OPEN keys so that they are in contiguous ascending sequence.
Also worth removing the key from the ADDINS hive in case a user has used the XL Addin manager to move it from the active to the inactive list of addins.
