Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Minor Upgrade and original msi file name. Hello Thanks for the quick answer. I have two quick questions: 1. My understanding is that if I want to do minor upgrade after a major upgrade I should use the Major upgrade product id instead of the original installation product id. 2. Is there a way to do an ifdef in the wxs file. I want to use the same wxs file for both minor and major upgrades with an ifdef inside.
