Thanks for the info Blair. I have modified the code as you mentioned below . I can see that the web service now gets updated with the latest version, however when I run the msi again on the latest version already installed, it doesn't pop up any message for me which means the below condition remains undetected.
<Condition Message="You already have a newer version of Web Service installed. To install an older version, please first remove the newer version using Add/Remove Programs"> NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED </Condition> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Blair Murri Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2008 3:19 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problem with UpgradeCode Typically, the UpgradeVersion element that you named 'NEWERVERSIONDETECTED' is used in a launch condition to prevent downgrades, and the UpgradeVersion element you named 'OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED' should not have OnlyDetect set to 'yes'. OnlyDetect means "Don't remove this product you found with a matching UpgradeCode when you run RemoveExistingProducts since I am doing something else with the property I declared". Remove the OnlyDetect attribute from the OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED UpgradeVersion element (keep that attribute in the NEWERVERSIONDETECTED one) and add the following element in with your other Condition elements: <Condition Message="You already have a newer version of Web Service installed. To install an older version, please first remove the newer version using Add/Remove Programs"> NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED </Condition> Hope this helps. ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anurag Katre (Excell Data Corporation) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 7:33 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
