You cant make a new top-level feature in a minor upgrade. You must add it as a leaf child of an existing feature. Id strongly recommend reading the link Rob posted earlier in this thread, which summarises the rules, and the MSDN sections on minor upgrades.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New compnentfiles notgetting installedon MinorUpgrade Thanks Peter. This feature doesn't have a parent. You implying that I should make a parent for this feature and try "FollowParent". -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 1:07 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New compnent files notgetting installedon MinorUpgrade You must have added a new line in your source that looks something like: <Feature Id="..." Level=".." ... Just add an extra attribute: <Feature Id="..." Level=".." InstallDefault="followParent" ... -----Original Message----- From: Anurag Pahwa [mailto:apa...@microsoft.com] Sent: 02 November 2010 15:39 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New compnent files notgetting installedon MinorUpgrade Another thing you could try is to set Feature/@InstallDefault to followParent on the new feature if it should always be installed together with the parent feature. --- I did not get this. How can I do that? -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 10:40 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New compnent files not getting installedon MinorUpgrade I guess that when you do a minor upgrade, it will keep the same set of features as were originally installed so you would have to include ADDLOCAL=newFeatureName on the command line. Another thing you could try is to set Feature/@InstallDefault to followParent on the new feature if it should always be installed together with the parent feature. I don't know if that would apply during an upgrade though. -----Original Message----- From: Anurag Pahwa [mailto:apa...@microsoft.com] Sent: 02 November 2010 14:26 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New compnent files not getting installed on MinorUpgrade In the log, there will be a line similar to that for the new feature. What does that say ? Perhaps your new feature is not being installed. -----Original Message----- From: Anurag Pahwa [mailto:apa...@microsoft.com] Sent: 02 November 2010 13:15 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] New compnent files not getting installed on MinorUpgrade Hi, We are trying to add a new component and feature to install a new file on an minor upgrade (product version change) so on a fresh install the component files gets copied to the directed folder but on an upgrade the component do not get installed. Seems like its getting ignored. I checked the documentation for minor upgrade and we can add a new feature and component. In the log I get is MSI (s) (B8:38) [12:16:46:001]: Component: MappingCab; Installed: Absent; Request: Null; Action: Null Any idea guys?
