Hi, I have been working on an installer for a COM application. The installer contains a few .NET assemblies, with a couple configuration files and installs a COM application that uses the .NET assemblies (with the ComPlusExtension). Due to our development not being so strict I figured it would probably be easier if each install was a major upgrade than messing with minor and small. So to test this I generated the MSI and installed, all is well so far. Next I changed the product guid (ok well actually I had it set to '*' :-) ) and increased the version from 2.0.0.0 to 2.1.0.0 (both the steps I believe are required to initiate a major upgrade). I generated the MSI and attempted an install. During the install the installation complained a COM application with the specified id already existed, retry had no effect, so I tried ignore and the install completed successfully. I tried minor and small updates afterward just to confirm and they did not complain. So is there something I am missing when it comes to major upgrades and the ComPlusExtension? Or even just something I am missing with Major Upgrades in general?
I tried this again 3.0.4805.0 and 3.0.5006.0, same result.
