I could not get this to work, and still have the same issue where I get the
popup "Another version of this product is already installed".
I tried several incantations, but just cannot seem to get this to work, here is
a snippet from my installer file, does anyone have any ideas as to what I need
to do?
<Product Id="7fdfd40c-167f-407c-868e-d72daf897f76" Name="XPedient
XPertJustice Application Server"
Language="1033"
Version="$(var.MajorVersion).$(var.MinorVersion).$(var.BuildNumber)"
UpgradeCode="c0557fad-2240-43d3-8e9c-653a7bc35015"
Manufacturer="XPedient Technologies">
<Property Id="DiskPrompt" Value="XPertJustice Application Server"/>
<Property Id="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" Secure="yes" />
<Property Id="MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION" Value="true" />
<Upgrade Id="c0557fad-2240-43d3-8e9c-653a7bc35015">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.0.0" Maximum="2.0.0.0"
Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no">
</UpgradeVersion>
</Upgrade>
<MajorUpgrade AllowSameVersionUpgrades="yes" DowngradeErrorMessage="In
order to downgrade, you must first uninstall the newer version that is
currently installed."/>
<!-- <MajorUpgrade AllowDowngrades="yes"/> -->
<!-- <RemoveExistingProducts
After="InstallFinalize"></RemoveExistingProducts> -->
I left some of the various combinations commented out above, we are fast
pushing torwards a deployment, and need some insight or direction.

Try to use this code: <MajorUpgrade AllowDowngrades="yes" />, but also you need
to suppress ICE61 for safely allowing downgrade.

Subject: [WiX-users] Simple Upgrade/Reinstall Question
I have been reading and searching through the mailing list, and I cannot seem
to get my arms around the upgrade markup.
Is there a simply way to indicate that anytime an install with the same product
id is detected that it should be uninstalled, regardless of the version, and
the install being executed ends up being installed as if it were a fresh
install?
Thanks,
John
