Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Major update disallowing component Just an update on this. I tried changing the Component GUID, but realized that that won't work, because the files still target the same location, so I get the same error. That is, it's not looking up the Component GUID for determining if the component is pre-existing, but rather the destination itself. Any suggestions on how to cleanly get around this issue? --Quinton > I found a problem where when we do a major update when a component in > the newer version has a key file with an older version than the version > its updating.
