Hi all, Sorry for the horrible formatting - here goes again! I am new here but have searched the list and cannot find a relevant answer.
I am following the tutorial found at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php and I am able to create a package which upgrades an existing installation with a minor upgrade. I install version 1.0.0 successfully. I then apply the upgrade via the command msiexec SampleUpgrade.msi -i REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus. This is successful. However when I test the behaviour for when I reapply the upgrade I do not get the error message from the check on the whether it has previously been applied. Instead the usual "Resuming the Foobar 1.0.1 Setup Wizard" dialogs. I would have thought that a combination of the relevant <UpgradeVersion>, <CustomAction> and <Custom> tags would result in an error. Am I missing something subtle (or not so subtle) here? Many thanks for any assistance! Details follow: I am using WiX v3.0.3704.0 and I have migrated the download files from v2 to v3 using wixcop, inserted my own guids and then modified the components to avoid the ICE errors regarding advertised shortcuts.
