Re: [WiX-users] UI upgrade succeeds, but silent upgrade fails
Are you mixing up minor and major upgrades ?
Major upgrades use the upgrade table and replace the old product with the new
one. You don't specify REINSTALL or REINSTALLMODE on the command line. The
upgrade code should be the same and the product code and version different.
Minor upgrades repair and update the existing installation using a new
version of the MSI. You do use REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE but the upgrade
table is not used. The upgrade code should be the same and the product code
too: only the version differs.
The MajorUpgrade element is just a convenient shorthand for using the upgrade
table. You can leave it commented out for now.

Thank you for clarifying this for me, Peter!
I ran the MSI without REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE and it worked like a charm!

One caveat if you follow Neil's advice. WixExitEarlyWithSuccess doesn't work
completely seamlessly with MajorUpgrade. See

The workaround is to schedule the CA yourself with this condition in the

Hello,
We are testing upgrade from an older version to the version we are
about to release. We noticed that upgrading msiexec.exe /i my.msi
successfully upgrades the old product files with the new ones.
However, silently installing with the following command fails:
msiexec.exe /i my.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qn
The log file generated during silent upgrade contains the following
messages:

Does this mean that installer is not finding the previous product
version and hence doesn't uninstall it? If so, why would UI upgrade work?
I also noticed that we didn't have Package Id specified in the WXS
file for the old product. However, we did specify the same Product
UpgradeCode in the old and new versions. Is this sufficient?

I just verified with QA that both UI AND silent upgrades fail, which I believe is caused by the absence of Package Id in the old product version. So, the question now is if there is a way to automatically uninstall the old version of the product without Package Id when upgrading to the new product version with Package Id?

How do we ignore APPCOMPAT? Do you need any other info?

Subject: [WiX-users] UI upgrade succeeds, but silent upgrade fails
Hello,
We are testing upgrade from an older version to the version we are about to
release. We noticed that upgrading msiexec.exe /i my.msi
successfully upgrades the old product files with the new ones.
However, silently installing with the following command fails:
msiexec.exe /i my.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qn
The log file generated during silent upgrade contains the following messages:
APPCOMPAT: looking for appcompat database entry with ProductCode
'{15E9E02D-8660-41B3-9373-3E427A392478}'.
APPCOMPAT: no matching ProductCode found in database.
..
FindRelatedProducts.
PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED property. Its value is
'{4B43BAEB-553B-4FAD-9219-C55DA3492D89}'.
PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding NEWERVERSIONDETECTED property. Its value is
'{4B43BAEB-553B-4FAD-9219-C55DA3492D89}'.
Doing action: WixExitEarlyWithSuccess
FindRelatedProducts. Return value 1.
Does this mean that installer is not finding the previous product version and
hence doesn't uninstall it? If so, why would UI upgrade work?
I also noticed that we didn't have Package Id specified in the WXS file for
the old product. However, we did specify the same Product UpgradeCode in the
old and new versions. Is this sufficient?
Thanks,
Alec

Re: [WiX-users] UI upgrade succeeds, but silent upgrade fails
You might want to look at the MajorUpgrade element
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/major_upgrade.htm it makes it easier to
implement upgrades.
