Hi all, I am interested in doing only major upgrades in my installer, this is why I have in the code for Product and Package the Id="*":
[code] <Product Id="*" Name="$(var.ProductName)" Version="$(var.CurrentVersion)" Language="1033" Manufacturer="$(var.CompanyName)" UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> <Package Id="*" InstallerVersion="301" Compressed="yes" /> [/code] It might happen that we freeze internally the release 2.2.0, I build a package, give it to the QA they do tests, find bugs and those bugs are fixed, so internally I have to do another msi package, with the same version (2.2.0) but with the newer binaries (which contain the fix). In this case I have to rebuild the msi package and I would like when the QA installs it to (major) UPGRADE their already installed version 2.2.0 even though the version is the same, but to get the new binaries. In order to achieve that, I wanted to have the upgrade table like: [code] <Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="no" Property="OLDAPPFOUND" Minimum="0.0.1" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="$(var.CurrentVersion)" IncludeMaximum="yes" /> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes" Property="NEWAPPFOUND" Minimum="$(var.CurrentVersion)" IncludeMinimum="no" /> </Upgrade> [/code] but I get the warning: "warning LGHT1076: ICE61: This product should remove only older versions of itself. The Maximum version is not less than the current product. (2.2.0 2.2.0)" This is why, I changed to (IncludeMaximum="no"): [code] <Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="no" Property="OLDAPPFOUND" Minimum="0.0.1" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="$(var.CurrentVersion)" IncludeMaximum="no" /> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes" Property="NEWAPPFOUND" Minimum="$(var.CurrentVersion)" IncludeMinimum="no" /> </Upgrade> [/code] and I was able to install the same product TWICE which is of course not what I wanted. Can smbd tell me how could I get what I want: - to NOT have the same product installed twice - to (major) UPGRADE the same version of the product (same version, but different msi package with different binaries) Thx, Viv ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
