Hi John That is correct for a minor upgrade. You keep the UpgradeCode and ProductCode the same, and the PackageCode and Version must change (see the MSI SDK for details). FindRelatedProducts is not used for a minor upgrade.
Also be aware when you start an MSI with a minor upgrade it is actually a reinstall. You need to specify REINSTALL=ALL and REINSTALLMODE=vomus (the mode can vary but must include re-caching the package). You may be better off authoring all your updates as major upgrades - in this case the ProductCode changes as well and FindRelatedProducts kicks in.

Subject: [WiX-users] Minor upgrade tutorial I'm confused about minor upgrades... the tutorial at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php#4.1 describes how to author the WiX package, keeping the product code the same, and including an <Upgrade> element which insists that a previous version of the product is installed (and that a later one isn't). This doesn't seem to work, though, and various web pages say pretty clearly that the FindRelatedProducts action only runs the first time a particular product code is installed. Is the tutorial right? How should I be authoring an upgrade so that it will not downgrade an even later version? -- Cheers, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
