By default Windows Installer doesn't check the file version for files in the GAC (only assembly version). If you use the -fv command line option with light it will set a flag in the MSI to make it check the file version.
I hope this helps.

I will not be making any assembly version changes because it will break all the other references and I do not want to have multiple versions in the GAC. only the file version will be changed. any idea? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
