FindRelatedProducts, Ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368600(VS.85).aspx only runs the first time the product is installed. Hence, I do not believe it is relevant for a small update or a minor upgrade.
You can verify this in your scenario by capturing a verbose log file "/l*v log.log" and looking at the information for FindRelatedProducts.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WIX Upgrade code I am doing minor upgrade and my expectation is as follows: If u installed 1.1.0, then say u upgraded to 1.1.1, then 1.1.2. If you try apply 1.1.1 again, it should fail the upgrade. Is this the right concept? Or do we expect the patch to work regardless of the numbers (which strangely is fine because we don't remove files that installed by previous upgrades)? <!-- This is my 1.1.0 --> <Upgrade Id='b9bb6a3a-1cd3-4d20-a0b0-769c4eec4d0e'> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='NEWERFOUND' Minimum='1.1.0' IncludeMinimum='no' /> </Upgrade> <!-- This is my 1.1.1 --> <Upgrade Id='b9bb6a3a-1cd3-4d20-a0b0-769c4eec4d0e'> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='PATCHFOUND' Minimum='1.1.0' IncludeMinimum='yes' Maximum='1.1.1' IncludeMaximum='yes'/> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='NEWERFOUND' Minimum='1.1.0' IncludeMinimum='no' /> </Upgrade> <!-- This is my 1.1.2 --> <Upgrade Id='b9bb6a3a-1cd3-4d20-a0b0-769c4eec4d0e'> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='PATCHFOUND' Minimum='1.1.1' IncludeMinimum='yes' Maximum='1.1.2' IncludeMaximum='yes'/> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='NEWERFOUND' Minimum='1.1.1' IncludeMinimum='no' /> </Upgrade> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: 13 September 2008 17:25 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372379(VS.85).aspx: Note that Windows Installer uses only the first three fields of the product version. If you include a fourth field in your product version, the installer ignores the fourth field. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
