[wpkg-users] How to uninstall old version, reboot and install new version after the reboot

[heiko.helmle at horiba.com]

Hello Matthias,

a) this problem is fixed in recent tortoisesvn-builds - it's an MSI-bug 
that they worked around now. Nevertheless, if you replace older versions, 
the bug might still bite you.

b) uninstalling during upgrade works fine here - reboot in between is not 
necessary for tortoise and can be ignored (worked here) - there's no 
checks done during the upgrade. Could you tell some more details as of 
what files in your upgrade scripts?

Best Regards
        Heiko

[wpkg-users] How to uninstall old version, reboot and install new version 
after the reboot



Hello,
 
it’s currently the second day I try to realize this and all my attempts 
failed so far.
 
The origin of my attempt are problems with the installation of 
TortoiseSVN. Whenever I do an upgrade I lose the entries in the Explorer 
context menu. To solve this issue, I want to uninstall the old version 
first and do a fresh install.
 
My first attempt was to execute the uninstall-command in the 
upgrade-paragraph but the install/upgrade-check caused problems with this 
attempt.
 
So I removed the check to avoid this problem but removing the check led to 
the installation of Tortoise on each reboot. 
 
This behaviour might be explained with this sentence in the 
wpkg-documentation: Also, if no checks were specified, WPKG will say that 
the installation have failed. (http://wpkg.org/Packages.xml )
 
What remains is that I don’t know how to realize the demanded behaviour. I 
hope someone can help me.
 
BRs,
Matthias
