(Sorry for re-post, the example Minimum and Maximum did not match my
description.)
I created an upgrade containing an updated DLL that replaces a previous version.
How can I make the install require a previous version to be installed? Is that
not the purpose of <Upgrade>? I cannot get it to work as expected. The
upgrade is happy to launch without the previous version installed.
Here is what I did:
1. Opened version 1.2.3 of the original MSI in WixEdit
2. Replaced a single DLL with an updated DLL
3. Updated version to 1.2.4
4. Updated Product Id
5. UpgradeCode did * not * changed
6. Added <Upgrade> element after the last <Property> element
<Upgrade Id="{59BF7F9E-FF46-45D5-8050-F1477466A661}">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.2.3" Maximum="1.2.3"
IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="yes" Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED"
/>
</Upgrade>
Is OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED a pre-defined thing or just used as a comment? I
have no matching Property named "OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED".
Thanks,

There is no matching Property.
