It's just the definition of a minor upgrade. If you're not patching, then the remaining to choice is to update by reinstalling the package. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370037.aspx

Not sure why-can anyone here shed some light on the subject? ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 1:57 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Another version of this product is already installed I'm trying to come to grips with how upgrades are handled, and I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the subject for me. In an attempt to understand better, I've been trying to install a pseudo "minor upgrade". I installed the base version, then I tried to install the slightly modified "upgrade" version. I changed: Product Version attribute. Package Id (auto generated) The contents of one text file. I left unchanged: Everything else, including Product Id & UpgradeCode Each time I've tried, I get the "Another version of this product is already installed" dialog.
