Thank you for your reply.
I tried setting reinstallmode to no avail.
I knew i needed to reinstall so i checked the reinstall option in the
wixuserlib.
It uses predefined customactions ReinstallMode\Reinstall, tried it and now
it works.
My main problem was/is i could not find any complet sample.
Is a previous version is detected, what’s
the action the MSI takes?

Earlier you mentioned prompting for the upgrade; MSI doesn't do that so
there's gotta be something extra.

Hello all,
I know it is dated, but in the MSDN article on WiX (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=""
, there was a mention of using variables within Visual Studio like so - $(var.MyApp.TargetFileName).
Does this capability, or anything like it, exist in
3.0.2120.0?

When a file is not on the media during the install, and does not get
