i've built an .msi that is supposed to be able to upgrade older versions. 
i'm pretty sure my handling of the update code, the product version and 
package id, and the upgrade tag as i should.
my problem is that if i run the msi with the
msiexec /i mysetup.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
command line (and just about any other REINSTALLMODE flag combination
nothing gets installed, wether its an initial install or an upgrade.
(i read it in the wix tutorial that upgrade msi-s need to be run from the 
command line to avoid the "another version of this product...blah blah" 
messagebox.)
if i just double click on the msi (and of course no other versions are 
installed), it runs fine.
i've tried comparing logs, and found that running with the command line(s) 
above, the line
"Property(S): _MSI_FEATURE_SELECTION = _NONE_"
which i became suspicious of.
googling popped this link:
http://forum.installsite.net/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=15&t=4333
so i'm believe this is at least part of my problem (yes i do have a gui)
any suggestions?
thanks for any help or advice in advance
