If the ProductCode you are attempting to install is already installed, it is no longer a major upgrade and is a maintenance mode transaction (see small update & minor upgrade, as well as repair and removal). Your ProductCode must not be installed in order to perform an installation transaction (both major upgrade and fresh install).

Subject: [WiX-users] question about upgrades Hi All, I have an install (v 3.0.5419.0) which performs a major upgrade, and completely uninstalls the previous version before installing the newer one, when a previous version is detected. We support multiple side by side instances of our application, and as such, target a specific instance for upgrade by setting the property from the upgrade table to the appropriate product code based on the instance the user selected from a custom bootstrapper. All of this has been working correctly until yesterday. I now have an issue where when I execute my install and choose to upgrade a specific instance it is failing to do so. My bootstrapper is passing in all the same values in the command line to Windows Installer that it was before, but FindRelatedProducts is not executing for some reason. From the verbose log: MSI (c) (DC:98) [09:10:52:732]: Doing action: FindRelatedProducts Action 9:10:52: FindRelatedProducts. Searching for related applications Action start 9:10:52: FindRelatedProducts. MSI (c) (DC:98) [09:10:52:733]: Skipping FindRelatedProducts action: not run in maintenance mode Action ended 9:10:52: FindRelatedProducts. Return value 0. So basically, the FindRelatedProducts action is not being executed, and obviously the RemoveExistingProducts action will also not be executed. What does it mean "not run in maintenance mode", and how do I make it work correctly so that it will run FindRelatedProducts action as I want?
