I got into this problem once when I did the following: 1) Create MyInstaller.msi Version X.X.X 2) Use this installer to install my product 3) Create again the MyInstaller.msi Version X.X.X, meaning a new rebuild of the msi but with the same version and different Product GUID and Package GUID as in the code I have for both Id="*" 4) Run this second installer on my system and expecting an upgrade
In the end, instead of an update, I got 2 entries of my application in Control Panel. I uninstalled the "first" one (the one I installed first), my application was gone from my system, but the second entry was still there in Control Panel. When I was trying to remove the second entry I got an error. I was able to actually remove it by running again the same .msi, the one created in step 3 above. hth, Viv On 4/13/2010 3:04 PM, Jeffrey Bindinga wrote: > Hi, > > I'm having problems with a wix create Installer. > My Uninstall fails.
