Really? Thanks for that, I thought that the product ID always had to be fixed so the MSI could find previous versions. How does the installer find a previous version if I change the Product ID?
What I am trying to do is just force a major upgrade every time.

In WiX 3, if you always do major upgrades, you can set this value to "*" to auto-generate the product id as per the package id. -- It's a wild world that we live in, you step to the vibe like a new found religion, take your position, compile your vision, futurism, algorithm has risen up! pfm - the western ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
