Aaron,
Have you tried logging the upgrade process, the command line option I
use is /lv* (which is just about everything).
Then look at two things:
1. The InstallValidate action - this should show what the installer is
planning to do to each component.
2. Then look for the actual InstallFiles action. It should show what
the installer is doing to each file - it may say why it won't change a
file.
The only other thing is do all of your components have a GUID? I've
seen something like this when I forgot them.
Michael

Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything
I'm having trouble doing a minor upgrade for an existing MSI. The new
upgrading MSI run without errors, however, it does nothing. I checked
the log file during an upgrade, nothing seems particularly interesting.
If I run the new MSI by itself (installing in this case), it works just
fine. I tried to play with the REINSTALLMODE, and changing the version
number on my assemblies. Nothing seems to work. I also noticed after
an upgrade (didn't actually work), uninstalling the application doesn't
actually do anything. It uninstalls without any errors, but no files
are actually removed from the disk.
I'm not sure what information I need to provide here, since I'm not
getting any error messages. I basically followed the instructions in
the WiX tutorial lesson 4 ( http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php
<http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php> ).
Thanx,
Aaron
