Hi,

I have a AI Project created using version 6.1.1. This was install version 15.

Then we did some changes to the way our app works. So I made the necessary changes to the AIP.
In the meantime, the AI updates wanted to install. So I let it install AI updates. Now I have AI version 6.1.1 and 6.2 ...

I am attempting the Automated Upgrade feature.

But when I upgrade it seems to run my uninstall custom code. Is there any other thing I need to consider.

My execute condition for running the uninstall custom action is (REMOVE="ALL" AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE))

Please help.

Thanks
SR

Will I be able to Install / upgrade depending on if its already installed or not using one single msi ?

Please let me know .

Thanks
SR

If I use the automated Upgrade feature, then my previous version will be uninstalled. I should not uninstall the previous version. (My uninstall custom action will command sharepoint to remove the files from there and that will cause the user to loose data).

I want to replace only 1 file (a wsp ...

Hi,

I have a project that installs a wsp and then runs some commands in Sharepoint to complete the installation process.

My difficulty is during an upgrade. During an upgrade, I do not want to uninstall (remove) any of my previously installed files except the wsp. Once that is done, I also have to ...

Hi,

How do I call a function defined in my vbscript using the Custom Action.

I am trying to get the databases from the sqlserver and would like to populate my combobox with property DBCOMBO_PROP with the list of databases.

I tried using the new attached custom action.
Source path: C:\test ...
