My MajorUpgrade element looks like this: <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A more recent version of [ProductName] is already installed." Schedule="afterInstallInitialize" /> So presumably your Product element has a Version attribute that would be something like "1.0.0". Say this is installed on client machines, and you need to upgrade them. You would then increment the Version to something like "1.0.1" (or whatever it appropriate), then when clients try to install the new msi package, it will detect that there is 1.0.0 installed already, remove it, and install 1.0.1. 2) Maybe this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/488620/wix-major-upgrade If you've built your own WiX installer, you're not much more of a newbie than I am. :-) -----Original Message----- From: nkshirsagar [mailto:nkshirsa...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 09:25 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Need some help with upgrade support in first version of MSI can you provide any details?
