Hi,
I have been using minor upgrades for most of our updates,
our application is primarily a server based web application and in most cases
the changes are to ASPX and DLL files. Minor updates work well when
you are changing existing files or adding some new ones (as a new
component). But don't use them to delete
things.

Subject: [WiX-users] Questions about Component, Features and Minor Upgrades
Previously I mainly use major upgrades with changes of product codes. Now I
need minor upgrades which allow more soft upgrade - just reinstall and also
allow patches. Major upgrades for some strange reasons doesn't allow it.
So I research this questions and have non-answered.
1. I found rules of thumb for choosing major-minor upgrade http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=""
. Here I read that it is possible to reduce feature-components tree during
minor upgrade, but following below rules cut all such possibilities, so what I
can change and how?
2. How can I delete files during minor upgrades if I use 1 file per
component rule? I must delete components but it is impossible...
3. Is it possible to delete feature in minor upgrade?
4. I use mallow and tallow to create wxi files - is it possibilities to
support minor updates?
5. What is preferrable - to change Product Code or not?
Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security? Get stuff done quickly with pre-integrated technology to make your job easier Download IBM WebSphere Application Server v.1.0.1 based on Apache Geronimo http://sel.as-us.falkag.net/sel?cmd=lnk&kid=120709&bid=263057&dat=121642
