If you are following the major upgrade rules (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/major_upgrade.htm) your 1.1.0.0 dll should be upgraded to 1.1.0.1. You should note that the component code of this dll should not have changed. If it's not create a log and see what's happening.
As to your need to leave an old dll unchanged I would add a new component for the 1.2.0.0 and leave the old one in your msi.

Subject: [WiX-users] GAC File Update I have the following scenario that I'd like to know if Wix is able to handle. I have an assembly called bizobjects.dll with a version of 1.1.0.0 installed into the GAC, somewhere in configuring my setup I have an issue of each upgrade to say 1.1.0.1 and so forth is getting installed and 1.1.0.0 is not being replaced with the new version. A second issue is that if I have a new version that is now 1.2.0.0, I need to be able to install 1.2.0.0 and not have 1.1.0.1 uninstalled, because there are still some applications that rely on that particular version. Referring to the first problem, when I have a new version and want it to replace the previous version I just give my Setup a new Product ID and increment the version number, the Update ID is not being changed, so I thought that would uninstall the previous version and replace it with the new version. Can someone please guide me on how to resolve these problems if they are resolvable? Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
