Re: [WiX-users] does running upgrade msi or patch msi still require additional command line switches?

That's correct, with this in place you should be able to double click your MSP and get the desired results (it's how I do it, anyways). Regarding a REINSTALLMODE of "vomus" vs. "omus", I can only really point to the MSI documentation. For a patch, it notes "omus". For the msi approach, it not
