Hi John, Thank your fort hat crucial hint. Before we started to version the helper modules systematically with 1.0.x, the old version numbers on some but not all modules were set to 1.4.0. So those dlls were not installed with the upgrade, but since this happened simultaneously with the 2.0.x to 2.1.y upgrade of the main software, I looked in the wrong place. Digging into the dlls with JustDecompile revealed the problem.
I bumped the version number of the helper modules to 2.1.0 so that they are in line with the version of the main software, rebuilt the whole shebang, and now the upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.1.y works like it should. Thanks again for your help! EK -----Original Message----- From: John Cooper [mailto:jocoo...@jackhenry.com] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2014 8:13 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] BA Installation failure with WiX 3.8 during major upgrade No, this is not what should happen. This Id maps to a helper dll that is needed to run most of the services, including the one that is failing. What does that mean?

Each bundles some prerequisites and .msi files (mostly IIS-hosted web services for the first BA and Windows services for the second). Initial install and major upgrades from version 2.0.x to 2.0.x+n have worked fine for months. When I perform a major upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.1.y, though, the first BA runs to completion with apparent success, but leaves out some dlls, causing the web services to fail. The second BA fails when trying to start the first Windows service it was supposed to upgrade. When I check the install directory, the folder it lives in is no longer there. When I uninstall version 2.0.x manually in "Programs and Features" first and then run the BAs, everything works like a charm, and I can again run major upgrades from 2.1.y to 2.1.y+m. I have pored over the installer logs in some detail, but can't find anything beyond the fact that the installer quit because the service failed to start. I am attaching the log files of the failed Windows service installer and the corresponding BA. What am I missing? What else can I try to further diagnose the issue?
