Sonar, Have you looked at the sample on Alex's blog for doing major upgrades? The details are at http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/15/from-msi-to-wix-part-8-major-upgrade.aspx. It's a little lengthy but it should give you the details you need to make this work properly.

I want to make sure that the application is upgradable in future. In order to do so, I am playing around with Upgrade element in WIX source file. Upgrade seems to work fine but I am not able to detect the old version and newer version and stop the upgrade. Here is what I am trying to do: 1. Install version 1.0.0 of the application. msiexec /I ClientSetup.msi Should work fine. 2. Upgrade to version 1.0.1. msiexec /I ClientSetup.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vamus Should work fine. 3. Try upgrading back to version 1.0.0. msiexec /I ClientSetup.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vamus Should display a message stating that a newer version already exists. 4. Try upgrading back to version 1.0.1 msiexec /I ClientSetup.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vamus Should display a message stating that this version already exists. I have attached the source code in a zipped file. Please rename ClientSetup._zip to ClientSetup.zip. The only change I am doing between version 1.0.0 and version 1.0.1 is the change on line 7 in Product.wxs. Please have a look and let me know what Am I missing here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & regards, -Sonar CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication may contain privileged or other confidential information.
