Where do you have RemoveExistingProducts scheduled? Have you tried it after
InstallValidate so that is removes everything before reinstalling.

Subject: [WiX-users] COM Plus Applications and Major Upgrade
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.
Cheers,
Adam
