I'm not talking about that bug. I'm talking about the bug where WiX makes you uninstall and reinstall because it's not smart enough to reinstall the component durign a Major Upgrade because of MSI's pedantic assumption that you wouldn't possibly need to downgrade a component. I've dealt with this problem many times over the years because in the repackaging world you often can't control the upstream build process to make sure file versions follow the rules which were designed for transactional effeciency over transactional accuracy.

That was a bug in mergemod.dll, verified with the Windows Installer team. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
