You are not allowed to change the make-up of a feature in a minor upgrade.
You must add your new components to a new feature. You can make that feature
a child of an existing feature and set the new child feature to follow its
parent's installation state - set Feature/@InstallDefault to 'followParent'.
You should also set Feature/@Absent='disallow'.

 

This is all documented in the SDK under "Changing the Product Code". There
are various circumstances which require you to change the product code,
which is a major upgrade; therefore if you want to use a minor upgrade, you
must avoid doing any of the things that would require you to change the
product code.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to install new features components in a
minorupgrade

 

I'm discovering that if my minor upgrade has new components, which should be
allowed, that the new components don't get installed when installed when
using REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus.  

 

Is there a method to perform a reinstall and also get the new components to
install with a minor upgrade?

 

Sincerely,

 

Frederic Mokren
