Re: [WiX-users] product id during upgrades
MergeModules don't have a ProductCode. modu...@id is a value that identifies the module to enable modularization of properties, directories, and whatnot for the contents of merge modules in MSIs. You can't influence (except in a negative way) upgrade types from a merge module. Those are 100% defined in the MSI. -Original Message- From: subrat agasti [mailto:subrat.w...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 10:12 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] product id during upgrades
You dont need to use * for product code, as long as you do change the product code by hand when you make a major upgrade. To make a minor upgrade the produce code must remain constant anyway. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370579%28VS.85%29.aspx You must change the package code every time you make any change to an installer, even if the wix source stays the same and only one of the installed files is different. Using * means you dont ever need to worry about it. -Original Message- From: subrat agasti [mailto:subrat.w...@gmail.com] Sent: 20 July 2010 13:35 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] product id during upgrades Hi, Is it necessary to have "*" as product id to be able to make upgrades?Do i need to change the package code and product code all the time to do a major upgrade?
