• Re: Custom actions for a product upgrade

  Yes, that worked. In the Install custom event, I check for a WebsiteInstalled flag. If it's set then I know a previous version of the app is installed and continue with the the upgrade logic. If it's not set then I set it and continue with the full installation logic. Thanks!

• Custom actions for a product upgrade

  I've already raised this but in the wrong forum so I'll try again: I'm using a Deployment Project in Visual Studio 2008. I have a custom action on the Install event to create a database and configure mail settings when the web application is installed. If however I install a newer version of the application, the custom action for the new version fires and I don't want it to. How can I stop this other than running msiexec and passing in a parameter such as "upgrade=true"

• Detect product upgrade in Deployment Project

  I'm using a Deployment Project in Visual Studio 2008. I have a custom action on the Install event to create a database and configure mail settings when the web application is installed. If however I install a newer version of the application, the custom action for the new version fires and I don't want it to.

• Re: Empty folders after uninstall

  Thanks Thomas. With Windows Installer, the computer keep a database of information about every application that it installs, including files, registry keys, and components. When an application is uninstalled, the database is checked to make sure that no other applications rely on a file, registry key, or component before removing it. I discovered that when I added a custom action on uninstall. I deleted all files to which I had access, but the uninstall then failed because the files referred to in

• Re: Empty folders after uninstall

  As a test I tried an old version of the installer which I know works. This time however it would not uninstall properly - files and registry entries persisted. As a test I tried the new version on another machine and it uninstalled fine. That must mean there's something wrong on my machine. Registry corruption maybe? How can I fix it?

• Re: Empty folders after uninstall

  After rebuilding the MSI a couple of times, now uninstalling doesn't delete the content files either! A bit more info: * Running on Windows XP and using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 * The Registry still has a list of the folders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Folders after I've uninstalled. I rebooted my machine just in case any files were locked, but it's made no difference. What's annoying is that the installer was fine until I added a custom

• Empty folders after uninstall

  My website has a Web Deployment Project. The output from this is fed into a setup project which adds some third party DLLs and other dependencies. It works fine except that after uninstalling the website, all the content files are deleted, but all folders remain. Any idea why? I have a custom action on the Uninstall event to remove the virtual directory and database. These do not reference any of the files in the website.

• Re: Validating Rating Control

  You also need to check for null in the ClientValidate function. I.e. function CustomValidator1_ClientValidate(source,args) { if($find('RatingBehavior1').get_Rating() != null && $find('RatingBehavior1').get_Rating() != 0) // rating is not zero { args.IsValid = true; } else { args.IsValid = false; } }

• Microsoft e-learning style site

  Hi All, Does anyone know of a tool I can use to develop a Microsoft e-learning style website for training users? I.e. a treeview on the left hand side for people to jump straight to the page they want, previous/next buttons for linear navigation, then a simple test at the end of each section. The content will be stored in a SQL Server database rather than hard-coded into the web pages. May have to write it myself but if someone's already done it I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

• Re: HtmlGenericControl value not recognised on server

  That makes sense. As suggested in the other post, I'll try using a Label - I can't use a TextBox as the value is only changed indirectly by the user. Thank you!
