Subject: [WiX-users] Issues faced while upgrading from Wix 3.5 to Wix 3.8

Hi,

For our project we used to create a bootstrapper installer with WiX 3.5. It 
included the .NetFramework 4.0 and our ProjectMSI. The product version used for 
this installer was 1.0.1.0.

Now we have upgraded WiX to 3.8. The next product version used is 1.0.2.0.
The product version for the Bundle and ProjectMSI are same. The product Id and 
upgrade code for ProjectMSI are the same as that used in 1.0.1.0. The Upgrade 
code for Bundle is different.

Upgrade is allowed but Downgrade is not allowed for the product.

We are facing the following issues:

1. If we have 1.0.1.0 (that was created with Wix 3.5) installed on a machine 
and we try to install 1.0.2.0 with setup.exe (that was created with Wix 3.8) 
then the control panel shows a single entry for the product with version
1.0.2.0 but when we check the version of the DLLs it shows 1.0.1.0. 

2. Before creating the deployment builds we always create an engineering build 
with version 1.0.0.0. If we have 1.0.1.0 (that was created with Wix
3.5) installed on a machine and we try to install 1.0.0.0 with setup.exe (that 
was created with Wix 3.8) then the control panel shows two entries for the 
product - one for 1.0.1.0 and another for 1.0.0.0.

However in both the cases if we try to run the ProjectMSI directly
(setup.msi) it says "Another version of this product is already installed..." 
which is the expected behaviour. How can we get the same behaviour for 
bootstrapper setup.exe created with Wix 3.8.

Thanks & Regards,
