如何让 WIX MSI 始终删除以前的版本? [英] How do I make a WIX MSI always remove a previous version?

问题描述

每当开发人员签入更改时，我都会让 CI 构建系统构建一个 MSI.我们对已安装的 MSI 运行自动化验收测试.

I have CI build system builds an MSI whenever a developer checks in a change. We run automated acceptance tests on the installed MSI.

基本上每个 MSI 都是产品的完整安装，因此我们本身没有任何版本控制(ala Windows 安装程序)..

Basically every MSI is a complete install of the product, so we don't have any versioning (ala Windows installer) per se..

每个 MSI 具有相同的产品 G​​UID 和升级 GUID，以及相同的版本号.但具有不同的包 GUID(在 wix 中使用*").

Each MSI has the same product GUID and upgrade GUID, and the same version number. but has a different package GUID (use '*' in wix).

我想要实现的是，当安装程序运行时，它会卸载"任何以前安装的产品版本，然后安装新版本..所有这些都来自一个 MSI(我们有一个复杂的安装过程我们的控件.. citrix 和 sccm，所以我们想给它们一个简单的安装路径)

What I want to achieve is that when the installer runs, it will 'uninstall' any previously installed version of the product, and install the new one.. all from a single MSI (We have a convoluted install process that is out of our control.. citrix and sccm, so we want to give them a simple install path)

我试过了:

<Property Id='PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED' Secure='yes' />
<Upgrade Id='$UPGRADE_GUID'>  
  <UpgradeVersion Minimum='1.0.0.0'
                  Maximum='99.0.0.0'
                  Property='PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED'
                  IncludeMinimum='yes'
                  IncludeMaximum='no' />
</Upgrade>

并且有:

<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <RemoveExistingProducts After='InstallFinalize' />
</InstallExecuteSequence>

并尝试过:

<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <RemoveExistingProducts After='InstallInitialize' />
</InstallExecuteSequence>

但是当我尝试从后续版本安装 msi 时，我得到:

But when I try to install an msi from a subsequent build I get:

Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. 
To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel. 

这不是我真正想要的..

Which is not really what I was going for..

我知道我可以只更新产品标签中的版本属性，但这变得难以管理.首先，我一天可以生成 20 多个 msi 构建，因为我有许多生成 MSI 的构建管道，但我不确定如何以有意义的方式处理版本编号.

I understand that I can just update the Version attribute in the product tag, but that becomes difficult to manage. Firstly I can produce 20+ msi builds a day as I have a number of build pipelines that produce MSIs and am not sure how to handle the version numbering in a way that makes sense.

也许 Windows Installer 只是不允许这种总是覆盖安装的版本"安装?

Maybe Windows Installer just does not allow this type of 'always overwrite installed version' install?

推荐答案

所以我确实找到了一种无需更改版本号的方法.

So I did find a way of doing it without changing the version number.

我会在每次构建时更改产品 GUID，但保持升级 GUID 不变.

I change the Product GUID with every build, but keep the Upgrade GUID the same.

我还必须将 RemoveExistingProducts 更改为 Before='InstallInitialize'.否则，它只会在安装路径中的构建之间留下增量".

I also had to change the RemoveExistingProducts to Before='InstallInitialize'. Otherwise it left only the 'deltas' between builds in the install path.

正如下面 Wim 所指出的，我可以用 '*' 替换生成的产品 G​​UID.

As noted by Wim below, I can replace the generated Product GUID with '*'.
