Burn should support bundle supersedence for patch bundles

[wixbot]

Deploying Patches via burn, supersede is on.

• Deploying Patch 1.0.1.0 -> Changes apply in installation, ‘view installed updates’ shows patch 1.0.1.0
• Deploying Patch 1.0.2.0 -> Changes apply in installation, ‘view installed updates’ shows patch 1.0.2.0
• Deploying Patch 1.0.3.0 -> Changes apply in installation, ‘view installed updates’ shows patch 1.0.3.0

So far so good
Now, uninstalling Patch 1.0.3.0 -> installation reverts back to patch 2 condition, but patch 1.0.2.0 does not show in ‘view installed updates’.

This has been reported as fixed WiX v3.9 (http://wixtoolset.org/issues/4033/), but I still got the error in v3.9.1208.0

Please upload logs from uninstalling patch 1.0.3.0 and post the link here.

As mentioned everything works fine except that after rolling back Patch 1.0.3.0, I expect Patch 1.0.2.0 to show in 'installed Updates'

Uninstalling Patch 1.0.3.0 generates the following 3 files

• Robs_Demo_Product_20150601165750.log (5kb) (Burn log file)
• Robs_Demo_Product_1.0.3.0_20150601165748.log (7kb) (uninstall patch 1.0.3.0)
• Robs_Demo_Product_20150601165750_0_toolroom.log (122kb) (repair base install?)

Please let me know if more files are needed. Is there a better way to upload code, screenshots ect to this forum?

It's hard to tell what's going on but it looks like you have related bundles with updated .msi packages? Please post a .zip file with sample authoring and all the logs for install and patch install and patch uninstall and we can see if we can figure out what's happening.

Burn doesn't support "bundle supersedence." When one bundle upgrades a lower-versioned bundle with the same upgrade code, the lower-versioned bundle is uninstalled. You can see that when installing 1.3: the 1.2 bundle is uninstalled with command-line switches -uninstall -quiet -burn.related.upgrade. The .msps themselves remain installed and the normal MSI supersedence rules apply:

MSI (s) (2C:AC) [21:38:37:683]: SequencePatches starts. Product code: {48C49ACE-90CF-4161-9C6E-9162115A54D4}, Product version: 1.0.0, Upgrade code: {48C49ACE-90CF-4161-9C6E-9162115A54DD}, Product language 1033

I'll turn this into a feature request. Bundle supersedence might be an interesting feature.

Great, thanks.
Is there a way I can assist?
Could you give me some pointers on how to approach this and where to start looking ti the code?
many thanks ... Rob

It's a fairly complicated change. There would have to be a new type of related bundle (BOOTSTRAPPER_RELATION_TYPE) that tells the bundle to hide itself in ARP but not uninstall itself like during a normal upgrade when it's another patch bundle that's being installed. And when a patch bundle is uninstalled, it would have to determine which patch bundle is the latest in sequence.

thanks bob,
I know it is asking much, but is it possible to put a date on when this feature might be released?
many thanks ... rob

Someone has to design and implement the feature. If you're interested in doing that, you can move the feature forward. If not, you'll be waiting for someone else to get interested enough to do the work.
