I've been trying to do an upgrade and everything I try gives me one of 3 results:
1) I immediately get a message saying another version of the product is installed, installation can't continue. 2) The install goes into maintenance mode and asks me if I want to Repair or uninstall. 3) The system tries to access the cached version of the previous MSI (which is not available) and I get a message saying there was a network error trying to access the old MSI. I started out by using the instructions for an upgrade here: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/. I tried implementing a minor upgrade by setting Upgrade/UpgradeVersion/@OnlyDetect to "yes" and running this: Msiexec /I x.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus This resulted in error #3. After looking through this discussion list I've tried various suggestions and ideas, such as doing a major upgrade by setting OnlyDetect to "no", removing the "v" from REINSTALLMODE and/or removing the REINSTALL option entirely. Every combination gives me one of the 3 errors above. Here is the important wxs "code" from my "old" install (the entire file is VERY big so I'm not posting all of it): <?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'> <Product Name="xxx" Version="4.00.0008" Manufacturer="xxx, Inc."

InstallerVersion='200' Languages='1033' SummaryCodepage='1252' /> Here is the wxs code from my new install (or the latest incarnation of it anyway): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:iis="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> <Product Name="PACSWare Intelligent Router" Version="5.01.0001" Manufacturer="DeJarnette Research Systems, Inc."

So any help or suggestions are appreciated.
