Hi All,
Since Microsoft pushed out KB2918614 it appears that minor upgrade has been
broken on Windows 2003. Writing up what I’m seeing in the hope that someone
else can either corroborate this, or conversely tell me what I must be doing
wrong ☺
I’m using WiX 3.8 for what it’s worth, standard wizard generated setup project
with just one component to install a text file. Then building two versions of
the msi, with same product and upgrade codes just different version numbers
(1.0.0.0 and 1.1.0.0).
Install KB2918614 and reboot.
Install version 1.0.0.0 msiexec /i 1.0\Test.msi
Minor upgrade to 1.1.0.0 msiexec /i 1.1\Test.msi REINSTALL=ALL
REINSTALLMODE=vomus
Minor upgrade fails with the following error snippet in the install log:

Observations:
Minor upgrade works fine if the hotfix is uninstalled.
Major upgrade works correctly with and without the patch present.
Can’t reproduce this on other operating systems (Win7 and Win8). It seems to
be confined to 2003 (and probably XP64 which is effectively the same as 2003
x64).
Only happens if the hotfix is applied before the first install or major
upgrade. The hotfix generates a SourceHash<ProductGuid> file in
C:\Windows\Installer during an install or major upgrade. The secure hash isn’t
generated during a minor upgrade.
Deleting the SourceHash file permits minor upgrade to succeed.
Kind regards,
