Hey guys, I'm building an application that's going through lots of small revisions right now. It's annoying to install, though, because we must first uninstall the previous installation, then install the new one. I'm trying to figure out how to fix this. The application is internal, alpha quality stuff, so I don't want to maintain version numbers and stuff, I think I just want an installer that can install over itself.
Is it possible to do this? I don't want to change GUIDs or version numbers with every build, I'd just like to have an installer that copies over the existing files and registry keys. My installation process is pretty simple (just copying a couple files and setting a few registry settings). I've been reading through this page, but it seems like more than what I want or need: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php I naively tried adding an UpgradeCode to my product then adding an Upgrade element that references that GUID, but I'm not sure what to do with it. If I run the exact same installer twice in a row it installs both times, but if I build a new installer I get the "this product is already installed" error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!
