Subject: Re: [WiX-users] prevent an old package from installing not working Your [EMAIL PROTECTED] is set to "*" meaning that it is autogenerated every time. If you set this to a static value, perhaps passed it in as a var the same way you do the UpgradeCode, Windows Installer should throw an error saying that another version of the same product is installed. Is this what you are trying to do?
