So I verified that digitally signing the MSI does NOT break MajorUpgrade
process and product gets upgraded just fine.Also adding the MSM Merge module
DOES break MajorUpgrade process.When I add the following two lines Merge and
MergeRef I end up with two installations of my product: <Directory
Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="$(var.ProductName)">
...
<Merge Id="Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86" Language="1033"
SourceFile="Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" />
</Directory>
<Feature Id="F_Complete"
Title="$(var.ProductName) Setup"
Level="1"
Display="expand"
Absent="disallow"
AllowAdvertise="no"
ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION" > <MergeRef
Id="Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86" />
...
</Feature>Moving the merge module in another feature does not help either. Any
ideas? Thanks,Martin
