To fix the ICE 61 error, add a VersionMax attribute to your UpgradeVersion that has a value equal to your Product/@Version attribute and also specify UpgradeVersion/@IncludeMaximum="no".
-----Original Message----- From: Thomas Mathis [mailto:t...@bica.ch] Sent: 09 June 2010 17:43 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] error CNDL0242 hello Peter Shirtcliffe, Thank you for your replay. I found out why the Windows Installer limits it, because of the limitation of the windows registry. The Windows Installer saves the values to the ARP (Add/Remove Programs) properties in the registry and there is the version key saved as a DWORD. So there is no more space for larger numbers in the version registry key! Therefore I wrote a workaround as a wxi-include file. My workaround has one disadvantage, the light.exe claims about this part: ...\inc\Upgrade.wxi(14) : warning LGHT1076 : ICE61 : This product should remove only older versions of itself. No Maximum version was detected for the current product. (OLD_PRODUCT_CODE) So, below you can find my solution as wix source code. If anybody has a better idea to deal with it, please let me know. Thank you Thomas Mathis <!-- Workaround for the limitation of msi and windows registry of the version information. The version data of ARP (Add/Remove Programms) are saved in the windows registry as an integer of DWORD. This include file replaces some part of the internal WiX function Upgrade and saves the value as string REG_SZ in the windows registry. With that you can expand the version information of more numbers. The version data $(var.InvernalVersion) should be saved as a string of numbers!
