How to Make setup.exe start msi without such command line parameters

I have basic msi installer and single executable installation type, because my installer includes prerequesites.
When I run setup.exe, it starts msi projects with the following command line:
REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus IS_MINOR_UPGRADE=1
But I don't want to use reinstall mode!

Does anybody know how to make setup.exe start msi without such command line parameters?

Hello,
According the information you post in this thread, it seems that you are doing an upgrade.
It seems that you have a previous version of your product, and launching the new version is considered as a minor upgrade.

I'd want to prevent situation, when developers forget to change the product version - so there will be two packages with different sources, but with the equal product version.

When I run the msi installer - I get a message that my system already have different version of the product - it's correct.

But when I run setup.exe - the installator upgrade system!
I want the setup.exe behave themselves like the setup.msi does. 😞

If I understand your requirements:

  • You will never use minor upgrade
  • You want to warn if you have a minor upgrade to detect an error in the
development process.

Maybe in this case you can add a Custom Action

  • Custom Action type : error
  • Test: if IS_MINOR_UPGRADE= 1

This CU should be inserted at the beginning of the sequence
I hope this can help you.
