You can't update a per-machine install from a per-user install (or vice versa). It's an inherent limitation.
There were some threads on this earlier and you should be able to find them via search. ________________________________________ From: Chris Lord [chris.l...@atterotech.com] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 8:10 AM To: wix-users Subject: [WiX-users] Removing a previous Installshield installation Hello, I have a Wix installation built to replace an Installshield one. However, on testing, some files are updated but add remove programs contains uninstalls for both the original software and the Wix installed one. I used the same Upgrade code as in the previous Installshield versions. I have looked at the verbose log file and I note during FindRelatedProducts that it says the previous install is per machine and the current install is per user and says skipped at the end. Can I presume then that this means FindRelatedProducts will return a match and thus did not uninstall anything? If so, what do I have to set in order to change that so that I correctly detect the Installshield and thus can remove it?
