windows installer - How to execute Custom Action before RemoveExistingProducts with After="InstallValidate" in WiX -

-

i have this:

<installexecutesequence>   <removeexistingproducts after="installvalidate"/> </installexecutesequence>

since 1 of uninstallation fails need execute custom action solve problem before removeexistingproducts. in lines of:

<customaction id="fixstuff" .. />  <installexecutesequence>   <custom action="fixstuff" before="removeexistingproducts" />   <removeexistingproducts after="installvalidate"/> </installexecutesequence>

this of course doesn't work since custom action cannot before installinitialize. i'd remove existing products between installvalidate , installinitialize, i'd execute fixstuff before removing existing products.

is possible that?

unfortunately cannot run elevated custom action before removeexistingproducts current configuration.

some possible approaches be:

  1. move removeexistingproducts right before installfinalize. solves custom action problem, other problems may occur since approach has many restrictions (the components need maintain names , guids between versions, custom actions should aware upgrade performed @ installation end etc.).

  2. create exe bootstrapper fixes old installer before launching new msi. bootrapper can require administrator privileges through manifest:

  1. repair broken msi using method:

    • fix problem in old msi
    • create bat or exe bootstrapper recaches through command:

    msiexec /fv <path_to_msi>

    • distribute msi update before new package

when new package runs removeexistingproducts, old cached msi should fixed , should uninstall correctly.
