While performing a major upgrade (remove before install) if a component key
file has a version number older than the one installed (and being removed by
the RemoveExistingProducts action) the component in question ends up not
being installed at all, with the following log message:
*Disallowing installation of component: {...} since the same component with
higher versioned keyfile exists*Has anyone found a solution for this nagging problem other than: - fix key file version number in the new installer <http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Major-update-disallowing-component-tt5785549.html#a5788414> - use <http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Major-update-disallowing-component-tt5785549.html#a5789735> /REINSTALLMODE=amus/ - ditch major upgrade and manually remove and install <http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/05/27/the-case-of-the-missing-mergemoddll-in-wix-v304123/> And... yes I'm using one file per component, no it's not a shared file included in other installers, yes I know it's an MSI problem.
