Me thinks Package Id should also be the same. In my case I tried to reinstall MSI file by setting the original Product Id and Version, and keeping Upgrade Code the same. Then I rebuild my wix project. However Package Id is set to star (*) and I get the error message below. If I reuse the same MSI

Hi, this message is displayed if you try to install a MSI with the same UpgradeCode and Version but a different ProductCode. So if you want to see the Repair/Uninstall mode you have to use a msi with the same ProductCode or maybe event the same msi, which has been used to install the product.

I think that the only privilege that you can set in Wix is 'Logonasaservice', via the user element. I had to do this by custom action years ago from installshield. -Original Message- From: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Sent: 22 June 2011 10:32 To: General discussion fo
