Hi Nick,
Thank you for your reply. I think that is a better fit. I have also thought
IExpress and VBScript might be a simpler approach.
I admit what I am doing is unusual. I have an old pre-Vista legacy app that
used HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to store product key registration information. Under
I created an upgrade containing an updated DLL that replaces a previous version.
How can I make the install require a previous version has been installed? Is
that not the purpose of Upgrade? I cannot get it to work as expected. The
upgrade is happy to launch without the previous version
Is OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED a pre-defined thing or just used as a comment? I
have no matching Property named OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED.
Thanks,
-Ed

Upgrade? Patch?
If you have the old MSI, there are a couple of options
Thank you Phil.
I am trying the Using Patch Creation Properties approach. I made two
subfolders, 3.8.1 contained only the original DLL I wished to replace, and
3.8.2 the updated DLL.

Are there others experienced in patching/updating that can share an example or
offer advice?
I followed the Using Patch Creation Properties tutorial which installs an
updated sample.txt file. This worked well.
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/patching/patch_building.html
Can this be done as an upgrade, replacing a single DLL file without removing
the previous install?
Or is what I am trying to do better implemented as a patch? I do not have
source code for original installer - only the MSI.
