Hi, i have a Basic MSI Project, and i generate one compressed setup.exe. The setup.exe should always install everything above the existing version.
I set ReinstallModeText to 'amus'
I tryed using comand line parameters 'REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=amus' (also tried with vamus)
I have an ini file wich is modified from one executable program.
After i made a change in the source ini file, i would have expect that the installation recognize this and copy this file, but he doesn't.
For each file in my installation there is also one entry in the logfile, like this: MSI (s) (74:E8) [15:35:12:659]: The file represented by File table key '_DEACC94DC52D7E92272030A4557D6069' has no eligible binary patches
Looking at the log file, it appears that a number of your INI files are not being overwritten due to Windows Installer file versioning rules. Specifically, it appears that the Hash of the old file matches the new hash of the new file. Typically, a change in the file would result in a change in the Hash for that file.
Specifically, MSI (s) (40:38) [08:59:16:441]: File: C:\Programme\Company\Product\ini\ps.ini; Won't Overwrite; Won't patch; Existing file is unversioned and unmodified - hash matches source file
It appears you may want to specify "Always Overwrite" for these files or author a custom action to set REINSTALLMODE to vamus instead of vomus.
Setup.exe will always pass REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus IS_MINOR_UPGRADE=1, so you'll want to overwrite that.
Now that i know the installer uses 'vomus' ... it all seems easy ... :rolleyes:
Is it somehow possible to use or set IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE, and force a deinstall before installation ? 😉 (i don't want to change the first number of the version number ...)
