I understand that msi won't recognize 4.1.1.8878 as a higher version over 4.1.1.8896 but will it recognize 4.1.1.8896 as higher than 4.1.1.8878. The msi document talks about version in terms of "major.minor.build" in the link i have attached.
It seems to work presently but I was wondering why as per msi documentation it is not simply being treated as "4.1.1" Thanks in advance Raj ps: Thanks Rob for talking the time to answer all the questions on this forum and making an amazing WIX installer. I usually don't respond with a Thank you when my question is answered but know that I am very grateful :) On Wed, Apr 3, 2013 at 10:52 AM, Rob Mensching <r...@robmensching.com> wrote: > Windows Installer will not recognize "4.1.1.8878" as a higher version than > "4.1.1.8896".
