I think this is what you're after. To reinstall even if the same version is already installed, I use this in my Upgrade node:
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="!(bind.FileVersion.UCClient.dll)" IncludeMinimum="no" OnlyDetect="yes" Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED" /> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.0.0" Maximum="!(bind.FileVersion.UCClient.dll)" IncludeMaximum="yes" IncludeMinimum="yes" Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" /> The important part being IncludeMinimum="no" when looking for "newer" versions, and IncludeMaximum="yes" when looking for versions that can be upgraded. It generates a warning on compile, but is safe to ignore.

Januar 2011 11:14 An: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: [WiX-users] (no subject) Hallo WiX-users, I have following scenario: => fixed GUID Upgradecode => new GUID of Productcode for each new build version => install and upgarade logic in msi package => the installation of the msi package is started on commandline, somthing like msiexec.exe /i package.msi => the installation is startet in the following situation: - new installation - upgrade from an old to a newer version - upgrade from the same version to the same version => HERE OUTPUTS THE ERRORCODE 1603! My questions: Are this behavior from the msi or wix technology? Can I change this behavior? Somthing like: - Abort installation without return error code, but only do this in commandline mode or with special commandline parameter. - Continue installation but change automatically into the repair mode. Optionaly switch on this behavior with special commandline parameter.
