My reading of the MSI SDK says you need to provide a command-line for minor 
upgrades.  Always made them pretty useless (unless you had a bootstrapper 
already) if you ask me. <shrug/>

Subject: [WiX-users] double-clickable minor upgrade msi solution? is there any 
route?


I have a minor upgrade msi that I want to be double-clickable, but when I try
it pops the dialog stating an existing product is already installed.
Understood and expected, and from reading up I'm seeing it's not really a
plausible solution, but I'm still curious if there's some way to do this
aside from a bootstrapper.

I would've thought if I use a type 51 to set the properties I'm using on the
cmd line (REINSTALLMODE/ADDLOCAL/etc) early in the sequence it should work,
but no success :(


I'm stuck in a pickle where I can't do a patch due to component/feature
restrictions, and in my case a major upgrade is out of the question, so if
anyone has found a solution to date I'd be very gracious to here it!

Thanks,
Chad
