Hello! So I have this WiX problem doing a major upgrade. I have made some
progress since I started, but I'm fairly stumped on exactly what to do now.
I was having trouble with the SettingsXml file, but now it does remain
intact as I need it to. Then I tried to make the two database components
(PathwaysMdf and PathwaysLdf) overwrite the old ones on upgrade, and the LDF
seems to be working, but the PathwaysMdf component does not upgrade, in
fact, it disappears!
Any help is sooo much appreciated. Here is the relevant bits (most
irrelevant bits omitted) of the .WXS file:
