Thank you.. I have Implemented Major upgrade code in my WIX application and it works fine but iam encountering a strange issue. The current version in which this is implemented is V1.11.0. If the machine already has V1.11.0 and I try to install V1.9.0 version (in which the Upgrade implementation does not exist) this is what I observe 1. Add/Remove Programs shows up 2 icons one for V1.11.0 and the other for V1.9.0. 2. The dlls installed though do not change and when I run the application its V1.11.0, ie, V1.9.0 in real is not installed. IMO, downgrading from V1.11.0 to V1.9.0 in which the upgrade functionality is not implemented is expected. Any workarounds or thoughts would be appreciated. Regards Anweshi

You also have to code the Upgrade element and determine where to sequence RemoveExistingProducts (Hint: if you follow the component rules, you hit fewer platform bugs by sequencing late rather than early).

Application is already installed on the client machine and he wants to upgrade to a new version. 2. During this process, user is prompted to uninstall prior version and install the new version. Rather than prompting the user to uninstall and install a new version, is there any possibility to upgrade the installation to a new version. I read in the documentation, that there is an upgrade option available to automatically upgrade the installation to new version. Is it a small change ?
