Subject: [WiX-users] Reinstallation of Modified MSI Hi, I have created a MSI with latest version of WiX and installed on my machine. Now I modified the WiX file and created the new MSI. Now I am installing the newly created MSI and it is not giving me the option for modify, remove and uninstall . I am getting the error that this package is already installed. Please let me know if I am missing something as I am using the following syntax in the WiX file.
