Giora, do your versions differ by more than the fourth digit?
I have found that if you install 1.0.0.0 and then 1.0.0.1 they will both be
listed as installed.
Incrementing the third digit (ie 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.1.0) the older version will be
replaced.
To enable replacement also by fourth digit version increments, this is how my
Upgrade section looks like (Id for both Product and Package are '*', and my
current build version is '$(var.BuildVersion)'):
<Upgrade Id='YOUR-OWN-GUID-HERE'>
<!-- Define the range of old versions that should be upgraded by the new .msi
-->
<!-- IncludeMaximum='yes' gives ICE61 warning as it forces upgrade of same
version installs,
but is neccesary to upgrade versions that differ by only the fourth digit ie
1.0.0.0 to 1.0.0.1.
Normally only 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.1.0 differences are treated as a new version-->
<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='no'
Maximum='$(var.BuildVersion)'
Property='OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED'
IncludeMaximum='yes' />
<!-- Detect out-of-order installations -->
<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes'
Minimum='$(var.BuildVersion)'
Property='NEWERVERSIONDETECTED'
IncludeMinimum='no' />
</Upgrade>

Asker

1. Package/@Id is optional but "*" is ok.
2. Order doesn't matter
3. Not sure I understand
Is your UpgradeCode/@Id fixed for both installations? Do you have
RemoveExistingProducts scheduled somewhere? Do you have an <Upgrade>
section?
You shouldn't need to update using that command line, it should just
work when you run it.
I hope that helps.

Neil Hello
Thanks for the fast answer.
I looked at code in the URL you sent me. It looks for me that my code
is similar.
The differences I found where:
1. My code has <Package Id='*' Keywords='Installer'
which is not in the code you sent me.
2. In my code the order of <Product Name='CapsCake' Id='*' is reversed
to the one in your code "<Product Id="*" Name=xxxx
3. I have code for founding the original installation directory.
What I failed to find is what make the installer to add one more entry
to the add / remove programs.
As the upgrade command I am using:
msiexec /i "CapsCakeUpgrade.msi" REINSTALLMODE=omu
Thanks
Giora
