major-upgrade

I am trying to delete a file using a custom action scheduled between InstallInitialise and InstallFinalize standard action. MajorUpgrade element is used to design upgrades. However, I want the custom action to run only during uninstall and not during the Major upgrade(this includes uninstall and install). I have used the following conditions to execute the CUstom action: (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE="ALL") REMOVE AND NOT WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED Is there a way to uniquely detect the Major Upgrade using properties in Wix? It's not obvious whether you want to do this in the older installed

I've followed the official Major Upgrade guide and I seem to be missing something. Here is my MCVE : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"> <Product Id="*" Codepage="1252" Language="1033" Manufacturer="Bla Corporation" Name="Bla" UpgradeCode="PUT-GUID-HERE" Version="31.00.0000"> <Package Comments="Contact: Refael Sheinker, refael.sheinker@bla.com."

We have an installer which requires a reboot on install, but it is also rebooting on uninstall. Is there a way we can prevent the reboot when uninstalling? This is what we have at the moment: <InstallExecuteSequence> <ScheduleReboot After="InstallFinalize"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> Many thanks in advance! Restart Manager : The Restart Manager Feature of Windows (Installer) (middle page) is designed to help restart applications automatically during installation rather than requiring a reboot . This feature should always be used to try to eliminate reboot requirements. Only in very special
