[WiX-users] How to Allow Same Version Upgrades in Bundles
I'm trying to implement same version upgrades in our bootstrapper. We build our product in one build process and later create the installers in a second package process. This allows us to repackage our product when fixing installer changes that do not affect the product in any other way. We do not change our versions when we repackage. I found that instead of upgrading the existing bundle installation, the new bundle is installed separately resulting in two ARP entries. I found feature http://wixtoolset.org/issues/3746/ requesting that burn support same version upgrades. Feature 3746 is listed as Untriaged and had been opened for a very long time. I expect this means an official fix is not coming soon. Are there any workarounds for supporting same version upgrades in bundles? -- Edwin G.

Any BA can choose to allow same version upgrades. The wixstdba does not. _ Short replies here.

Not today. Creating the same bundle with the same version just isn't something wixstdba considers a real scenario today. ___ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -Original Message- From: Edwin Castro [mailto:egca...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2015 3:06 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Conversely, is there a way to DISALLOW same version upgrades in bundles using wixstdba? I'm trying to figure out what my options are.
