You should have a look at the msi help on the types of upgrades at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370579(VS.85).aspx. What you are experiencing is normal behavior unless you specifically author for upgrading.
There is also good information on one of the upgrade types (major upgrade) here: http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/15/from-msi-to-wix-part-8-major-upgrade.aspx -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Chambers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 4:19 PM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] old installer running?! Hello! When I run my new Setup.msi file on a system that already has a previous version of the program installed, instead of actually running my new Setup.msi file, the OLD setup file is run, and I am given the options of uninstall or repair or cancel. I would like to be able to install a new copy on top of an old copy, upgrading. Anyone know how I can do this, at least get the new version to run instead of the old version? Thank you!
