From 5c9f5fe34c04180ee026a0ceea19fcc269c453e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jkarasti Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2024 18:45:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix: Dangerzone installed using an msi built with WiX Toolset v3 is not uninstalled by an msi built with WiX Toolset v5 Fix the issue by adding some extra functionality to the "Next" button on the welcome screen of the installer. When the user clicks it to proceed with the installation this: 1. Flips the install scope to "perUser" which is the default in WiX v3 2. Finds the older installation 3. And finally flips the scope back to "perMachine" which is the default in WiX v4 and newer TODO: Revert this once we are reasonably certain there are no affected Dangerzone Installations? --- install/windows/build-wxs.py | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 37 insertions(+) diff --git a/install/windows/build-wxs.py b/install/windows/build-wxs.py index f03e1ab..9baff94 100644 --- a/install/windows/build-wxs.py +++ b/install/windows/build-wxs.py @@ -178,6 +178,43 @@ def main(): ) ET.SubElement(ui_el, "UIRef", Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText") + # Workaround for an issue after upgrading from WiX Toolset v3 to v5 where the older + # version of Dangerzone is not uninstalled during the upgrade + # + # Fix the issue by adding some extra functionality to the "Next" button on the welcome screen + # of the installer.
