In my very limited experience, I've been impressed with how clean and easy doing major upgrades are using WiX (with little more than a single MajorUpgrade tag). Whenever possible, I would recommend always doing a major upgrade (just because it works so well), unless there's some reason you *real

Yes, MSI has issues with encrypted drives. I thought Burn tried to un-encrypt the PackageCache to avoid this problem. Maybe the encryption bit is being inherited so it gets reapplied when the permissions are propagated. On Tue, Mar 26, 2013 at 8:34 AM, Wesley Manning wrote: > Hi, > > I had a cu
