Michael,
I checked the log file, and I didn't see anything interesting, however, I
didn't check the InstallValidate and InstallFiles action closely. I didn't
use the /lv* switch on the log file, I just used the default. I can try it
again when I get back to work.
Yes, all my components have GUID.

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.

*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).
Thanx,
Aaron
