Hi,

It was mentioned a few times on this list that if the UpgradeCode stays 
the same, MSI performes an upgrade.

This is my preamble:

<Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'>
   <Product Name='Test' Id='*' UpgradeCode='$(var.UpgradeCode)' 
Language='1031' Codepage='1252' Version='1.0.0' Manufacturer='Test'>
     <Package Id='*' Keywords='Installer' Description="Test" 
Comments='...' Manufacturer='Hamsoft' InstallerVersion='100' 
Languages='1031' Compressed='yes' SummaryCodepage='1252' />

The upgradecode is defined successfully with <?define UpgradeCode = and 
also Orca shows the correct code.

So now I just call the compiler a second time such that a new Product Id 
is generated and the UpgradeCode stays the same. Normally this should 
yield a major upgrade and the product should be upgraded.

But the Installer does not detect the old version and the new version is 
even installed *over* the old one (into the same directory!). In the 
control panel/software there are two uninstaller icons now...

Is there anything else I need to take care?

Regards,
Luke
