I am not sure why you would need this, it is not something I have needed.

What about the
<CustomAction Id="SetMspReinstall" Property="REINSTALLMODE" Value="amus" />
<UI>
<ProgressText Action="SetMspReinstall">CA: Setting REINSTALLMODE to
amus...</ProgressText>
</UI>
Is that required?

Correction - use <MajorUpgrade Schedule="afterInstallValidate"> it will be
simpler.

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.

Okay,
I now have:
<Product Id="$(var.ProductCode)"
Name="$(var.PlatformProductName)"
Language="1033"
Version="4.0.2.30"
Manufacturer="$(var.ProductCompany)"
UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)">
<Package Id="*"
InstallPrivileges="elevated"
Manufacturer="$(var.ProductCompany)"
InstallerVersion="405"
Compressed="yes"
InstallScope="perMachine"/>
<!-- Upgrade info for Server -->
<Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)" OnlyDetect="yes"
Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED" />
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ServerBaseVersion)"
Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)" IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no"
Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" /> </Upgrade>
Where: <?define ServerBaseVersion = 4.0.0.0?> in an include file I include in
my product.wxs <InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts Overridable="yes" After="InstallValidate" />
<FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions" />
<ResolveSource Before="CostFinalize"><![CDATA[Not Installed And Not
PATCH]]></ResolveSource>
<Condition Message="A later version of $(var.ProductName) is already installed.
Setup will now exit.">
NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED
</Condition>
<InstallUISequence>
<FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions" />
I create one msi with productversion of 4.0.1.25 install it, then change
productversion to 4.0.2.30 and run it and I get the same error:
"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"
Sigh,
Steve

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 $(var.PlatformProductName) is
already installed. Setup will now exit."/>
then:
<Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ProductVersion)" OnlyDetect="yes"
Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED" />
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ServerBaseVersion)"
Maximum="$(var.ProductVersion)"
IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no"
Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" /> </Upgrade> where
I have the following defined:
<?define ServerBaseVersion = 4.0.0.0?>
<?define ServerMaxVersion = 4.9.9.99?>
and have a productcode and upgradecode that I don't change...
customactions:
<CustomAction Id="SetMspReinstall" Property="REINSTALLMODE" Value="amus"
/>
<UI>
<ProgressText Action="SetMspReinstall">CA: Setting REINSTALLMODE to
amus...</ProgressText>
</UI>
<CustomAction Id="NEWAPPFOUND" Error="A newer version of
$(var.ProductName) is already installed." />
<UI>
<ProgressText Action="NEWAPPFOUND">CA: Setting up
NEWAPPFOUND...</ProgressText>
</UI>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts Overridable="yes" After="InstallValidate" />
<FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions" />
<ResolveSource Before="CostFinalize"></ResolveSource>
<Custom Action="NEWAPPFOUND"
After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWAPPFOUND</Custom>
<Condition Message="A later version of $(var.ProductName) is already installed.
Setup will now exit.">
NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED
</Condition>
<InstallUISequence>
<FindRelatedProducts Before="LaunchConditions" />
<Custom Action="NEWAPPFOUND"
After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWAPPFOUND</Custom>
I then built the .MSI and installed it...
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
