I have an x86 Windows application that has some services and a client IEEE.
Due to persuading various MSIs to properly upgrade various MSIs, the installation process is now controlled by a wizard-style program that is currently installed and the user's current By accumulating settings, uninstalling existing software and handling upgrades by installing new version (
-
HKLM \ Software \ Classes \ Installer \ Products
< / Li> - Look in
-
ProductName = "(My app name)"
- Looking through the GUID key, loop,
HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft
- Instead of
- If a user is found, then give the user an upgrade (as previously mentioned) and install a clean (i.e. the user asked various questions by Wizard )
Now, it works very well on any of the Windows platforms, carefully note XP They have only the Windows Server fails to 2003 x 64, is detected not by an existing installation wizard - well I tested on another platform, despite being present in spite of the registry keys.
This is ok:
- XP x32
- Vista x32, x64
- Server 2003 x 86 < Li> Server 2008 x86, x64
- Server 2008 R2 x64
- Windows 7 x86, x64
This is only Server 2003 X 64 which displays it issue.
OK. Eventually this was done.
The wizard was compiled as x86 and I think the registry virtualization was happening in the way. The X86 Wizard works fine on all other WinOS (32 and 64 bit), but it was not on server 2003x64. I think the entries made by WI were hidden from an x86 process.
MSIL as a recompression means that it now works everywhere including server 2003x64.
