I think this is wishful thinking. A minor upgrade is going to require
command line parameters for msiexec.

Subject: [WiX-users] Making upgrades work without the msiexec
command lines?
I have a wxs script to build an MSI with a product node that
looks something like this:
<Product Name="Some App"
Id="C1226E59-7817-4A47-BAEF-2DF94362872F"
UpgradeCode="ADD87970-F3CC-40f3-9454-28871A017FEC"
Version="2.0.0"
Manufacturer="InfoSpace, Inc."
Language="1033">
<Package Id="????????-????-????-????-????????????"
Comments="Installs Some App on the target
machine."
Description="Description of Some App"
Manufacturer="InfoSpace, Inc."
InstallerVersion="200"
Languages="1033"
Compressed="yes" />
If I previously installed version 2.0.0 on the box and then
change the version number to 2.0.1 and then double click on the MSI, I
get the "please uninstall the old version first" message.
Is there a way to make it so I don't have to run msiexec.exe
with the command line switches to do an upgrade?
I tried varying the UpgradeCode, and that didn't work and that
the same message.
If I varied the Id in Product, I would get two entries in
Add/Remove programs rather than one and the later one lays down files
over the earlier.
Any thoughts on this? Is it wishful thinking?
Thanks!
Rory
