Hi Michael, Make sure you follow all required steps to make major upgrade work. In your simplified code I see Version attribute hard coded to "0.0.0.0". Also, you did not provide your <Upgrade> table and how you schedule <RemoveExistingProducts>. It is not obvious from your code if you change Product/@Id with every build.

I'm working on a Windows Home Server add-in. This is not intended for production systems yet. We're publishing nightly builds and want users to be able to just install on top of what they had before. The problem I've encountered is that either the packages install as different applications, leaving a mess with daily installations (of which only one can be uninstalled), or that I can't install one file on top of the other without uninstalling the old version first. I've been following several postings, tutorials etc. (eg. http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/15/from-msi-to-wix-part-8-major-upgrade.aspx), but to no avail. Here's my simplified code: <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Name="MyApp for Windows Home Server" Id="xxxxxx-f914-11dd-87af-0800200c9a66" UpgradeCode="xxxxxxx-EBBC-11DD-BA2F-0800200C9A66" Manufacturer="Me" Version="0.0.0.0" Language="1033"> <Package Manufacturer="Me" InstallerVersion="200" Languages="1033" Compressed="yes" Id="*" /> <Media Id="1" Cabinet="MyApp_0.0.0.0.cab" EmbedCab="yes" /> <Property Id="WHSLogo">1</Property> <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="WHS" Name="Windows Home Server"> <Component Id="HomeServerConsoleTab.MyPanel" Guid="xxxxxx-f77a-11dd-87af-0800200c9a66"> <File Id="HomeServerConsoleTab.MyPanel.dll" Name="HomeServerConsoleTab.MyPanel.dll" Source="HomeServerConsoleTab.MyPanel.dll" Vital="yes" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1"/> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="MyPanel" Level="1" AllowAdvertise="no"> <ComponentRef Id="HomeServerConsoleTab.MyPanel" /> </Feature> </Product> </Wix> Any help is greatly appreciated.
