MajorUpgrade was indeed introduced in wix 3.5. I would try re-installing it and see if that helps, make sure you get the release version of 3.5.2519 or try a weekly build of 3.6. (http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/)
Once that is done open your solution in visual studio and it should run the upgrade wizard automatically. -----Original Message----- From: Skip Sailors [mailto:ssail...@wpc-edi.com] Sent: 17 March 2011 19:27 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Trouble upgrading from 3 to 3.5 on VS 2005 List, I am sure this is a FAQ, but I had trouble finding anything obvious. Can you help me find the right thing to read. I have a project that used WiX 3 and Votive to build an installer for a .NET 2.0 application using Visual Studio Professional 2005. We haven't had to upgrade this product yet, but yesterday we found that we need an upgrade for existing customer. I tried to add an Upgrade element to the installer, and a MajorUpgrade element. The compiler complained that the MajorUpgrade element is an unexpected child of Product. After minimal fussing, I thought, well, I will upgrade from 3.0 to 3.5 WiX and see if it helps. It didn't help. Now I get a message when opening the solution that "The application for 'Setup.wixproj' is not installed." I just installed it! Please help me find the right document that will explain to me what I am missing. What do I have to do so that my IDE can find the new WiX?
