Look at description for ICE61 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369005(VS.85).aspx). At the very end there is a Community Content section. Looks like there is a bug in ICE61.

From: Colin Bleckner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2008 2:40 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Better way to handle upgrades? Hey all, I build a lot of installers for my project. In an attempt to make it easy for users to install a newer version over an existing installation, I've been doing this: <?define InstallVersion = "X.0.0" ?> <?define RTMInstallVersion = "1.0.0" ?> .... <Upgrade Id='$(var.UpgradeID)'> <UpgradeVersion Minimum='$(var.InstallVersion)' IncludeMinimum='yes' OnlyDetect='yes' Language='1033' Property='NEWERPRODUCTFOUND' /> <UpgradeVersion Minimum='$(var.RTMInstallVersion)' IncludeMinimum='yes' Maximum='$(var.InstallVersion)' IncludeMaximum='no' Language='1033' Property='UPGRADEFOUND' /> </Upgrade> Every time I do a build I bump the InstallVersion "X" up one. It's obviously a hack, but has been working well. At least until now, when my InstallVersion hit "128.0.0" and my build immediately started complaining about an ICE61 error: "Upgrade.VersionMax cannot be less than Upgrade.VersionMin. (UPGRADEFOUND)" I'm not entirely sure what's going on here, but my compile works if I set InstallVersion to 127.0.0 and fails if I use 128.0.0. But more generally: there must be a better way to handle upgrades, or am I just being too liberal with the major version number? Colin -----Original Message----- Sounds like version major is being stored in a signed char (or its equivalent) with a range of -128..127 -- John M.
