Hi everyone, I have put a device-driver installation into a merge module to be used in several MSI-installers for multiple applications using that driver.
The driver is always backwards-compatible (as is the installation), but a newer application might be depending on the feature of the newer driver version. I have found lots of information about updates (major, minor...) concerning MSI, but not a lot concerning how the update will behave with the merge-modules. For example: I have an MSI for Product "A" containing the merge-module of my driver with version "1.0.0" I have a second MSI for Product "B" containing the merge-module of my driver with a newer version "1.1.3" When someone is now installing Product "A" and he has already installed Product "B" which contains a newer version of my merge-module with the newer driver - will the newer driver be overwritten by the older version? How can I prevent this?
