following in my upgrade code, maybe you will found what is the problem: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?> <?define Version = "1.0.8" ?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'> <Product Name='CapsCake' Id='*' UpgradeCode='2638A59D-5047-4E78-87A6-A665B98FA131' Language='1033' Codepage='1252' Version='$(var.Version)' Manufacturer='Gakay'> <Package Id='*' Keywords='Installer' Description="CapCake $(var.Version) Updater" Comments='CapsCake is a trademark of Gakay.'
