Subject: [WiX-users] Minor upgrade fails when original install is from 
removable media

Hi,

I've created a setup package using Wix 3.0.2420.0 that I've used to
install our product on a computer from a CD (removable media). But
when I try to perform a minor upgrade it prompts me for a disk,
"Please insert disk".

In the logs there is a PackageMediaPath property set to the directory
from where the original installation was done but without the drive,
and I think Windows Installer is trying to find the cabs in that
directory instead of looking in the directory where the upgrade msi is
located.

If I install from a CD where both the original package and the minor
upgrade exist in different directories Windows Installer complains
that the PackageCode is invalid.

Has anyone encountered anything similar or know what's wrong? Maybe
it's not a Wix problem at all?

If the original install is not done from a CD the upgrade works just
fine, and the PackageMediaPath property is never set according to the
log.
