You can't change the MSI file name in a minor upgrade. You can only do it in a major upgrade.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Is upgrading without caching possible. I decided to put together a very simple example to test all this out. I took my 2 installs, removed everything except one file, removed the GUI, etc. As expected and hoped, I still get the same problem. I'm including my .wxs files below. Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I install the first version, no problem. As expected, If I just double click the newer version I get the "Another version of this product is already installed..." error. So I try various versions of running msiexec and here are the results: Msiexec /I xxx51.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus This results in the error "A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\xxx4.msi" (the old MSI file). So I tried this removing the "v" to avoid trying to use the cached MSI: Msiexec /I xxx51.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus This again results in the "Another version of this product is already installed ..." error. Somewhere during my research I found a suggestion that REINSTALL should not be specified. So I tried this: Msiexec /I xxx51.msi REINSTALLMODE=omus Again I got the "Another version of this product is already installed ..." error. So, for the heck of it I tried this: Msiexec /I xxx51.msi REINSTALLMODE=vomus And I again got the "Network error". I'm assuming there is something I'm doing wrong in my .wxs file. Is there a good tutorial on upgrades somewhere (other than this one: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix, since it clearly steered me wrong)? Or can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong in this simple example?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Is upgrading without caching possible. The Upgrade element is only used for major upgrades. Minor upgrades are a different (often more difficult) mechanism for upgrading. The MSI SDK has a few great pages about the differences between Major and Minor upgrades. I typically recommend major upgrades.
