Cool it worked... I don't like the fact that you need to do "extra" code to make it look like an upgrade, it looks like a regular install except during the progress it is uninstalling the previous version then installing the new one...
I did what you suggested down below :) less code for sure :) Steve -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: December-20-12 4:08 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Upgrades NOT working on a new install.... Use - Product/@Id="*" - Remove the Id from Package completely - I would revert to the MajorUpgrade element and delete all the Upgrade elements and RemoveExistingProducts, FindRelatedProducts and <InstallUISequence><FindRelatedProducts> So that would give something like this: <Product Id="*" Name="My App" Version="$(var.Version)" Manufacturer="ACME" UpgradeCode="your-guid"> <Package Description="My App Installation" /> <MajorUpgrade Schedule="afterInstallExecute" DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is already installed." /> That authoring should be simpler to debug.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Upgrades NOT working on a new install.... You seem to have the MajorUpgrade element and also the Upgrade element, MajorUpgrade replaces the need for manually authoring the upgrade table. Also, I wouldn't hard code Product/@Id just use "*" and have WiX generate it for you, likewise Package/@Id isn't required just let WiX do it.

Hi all, I have implemented upgrades by doing the following (I have an include file that has the product/package properties which I define and include the include file :)... <Product Id="$(var.ProductCode)" Name="$(var.PlatformProductName)" Language="1033" Version="4.0.1.25" Manufacturer="$(var.ProductCompany)" UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> <Package Id="3AB87A29-AB20-4791-9EE5-CC8DC8235FDC" InstallPrivileges="elevated" Manufacturer="$(var.ProductCompany)" InstallerVersion="405" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine"/> <MajorUpgrade Schedule="afterInstallInitialize" DowngradeErrorMessage="A later version of $(var.PlatformProductName) is already installed.

I then changed the product version to 4.0.2.30 and change the Package ID to another GUID re built the .MSI and launched it... Instead of a message regarding upgrade minor I get a message: "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel" What am I doing wrong? I followed the suggestions from: http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/upgrades-and-modularization This is a new install so I was just making sure I had upgrades covered for down the road :( thanks, STeve -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Upgrades-NOT-working-on-a-new-install-tp7582496.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
