Make sure your console.exe program has a higher version number than its predecessor.
If that doesn't work, can you place your two msi's somewhere where they can be accessed? -----Original Message----- From: polan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2008 8:34 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How Update / Upgrade strategy (small, minor, major) affect file overriding?

I have a console application - the only thing it does is writing version string to the Console window. I change the application (it writes a new version number to the console), than change the package guid in the wix file, also the version attribute in the product tag. I run the installation and it finishes without error. Then I run my test console application and it is the same as before update :( I can get the files override is to use major upgrade or uninstalling and installing (minor) again. It doesn't seem right. I've also noticed that if I choose "typical" type of installation then nothing gets installed either even if it is the first installation (I think that might be connected). The only feature in the "custom" installation dialog is not selected to be installed by default. The feature has Level="1". I don't change the default INSTALLLEVEL. Also if I skip REINSTALL=ALL then i get a dialog with change/repair/remove - If I choose repair then the files gets override also. http://n2.nabble.com/file/n1306236/Product.wxs Product.wxs -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/How-Update---Upgrade-strategy-%28small%2C-minor%2C-major%29-affect-file-overriding--tp1304357p1312589.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.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
