I have added the MajorUpgrade ad shown in the wix help <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A later version of [ProductName] is already installed. Setup will now exit.">I haven't assigned the Schedule value as it is for default "afterInstallValidate" as reported in the WiX help Schedule => Determines the scheduling of the RemoveExistingProducts standard action, which is when the installed product is removed. The default is "afterInstallValidate" which removes the installed product entirely before installing the upgrade product. It's slowest but gives the most flexibility in changing components and features in the upgrade product.- But what I can see from the logs is that when I run the Burn setup it start and perform the installation of all the msi packages and then start the unistall of the old Burn setup that perform the uninstall of the msi package. As I can see the msi is not involved in the perform of the upgrade but it's Burn that call the install and the uninstall of the package. As another proof I have tried to install and the upgrade the only msi package running it directly.In the case of a minor upgrade (changing only the revision number) it doesn't perform the uninstall of the old package but only the minor upgrade.In the case of a major upgrade (changing the first version number) it does all correctly, uninstall the old package and the install the new one. So where is the problem is Bur bugged in the version 3.8? I have missed something?As I have seen the element MajoutUpgrade on the msi package not block the minor upgrade but is used only if it's added using Burn.But using Burn is the bootstrapper that command the process and install first and then uninstall. So where is the problem?I'm really disappointed, I'm near to give up with using WiX and Burn. As soon as possible I'll try to add a simplified sample to reproduce the problem,Thanks
