I thought that the "v" will run from the source (the msi that you're
currently trying to install) and recache the local copy. When would it ask
for the source media?

"v" means any time you do a repair operation with the MSI, that the
original source media will be required. Users **hate** that.

Rob,
Is there a short answer as to why you're not supposed to set the
REINSTALLMODE property to "vomus" and just leave it like that?

What are you trying to achieve? Are you trying to make it so you don't
have to do that from the command-line? One thing that I *think* that you
can do is set a property in your wxs file that is:
<Property Id="REINSTALLMODE" Value="vomus" />
If you look at the MSDN documentation for the REINSTALLMODE property,
you're not supposed to put the "v" in "vomus" on the initial installation,
but I have never figured out why you're not supposed to do this.

That solved the short term problem, but isn't a long term solution. Looks
like I need to do a lot more research and a lot more reading.
Thanks!

Does it complain about a different version of the product already being
installed? If so, you need to install the MSI via the msiexec.exe command
like this:
msiexec.exe /I your_msi.msi REINSTALL=All REINSTALLMODE=vomus

In the project I'm working on, we've hit a pain point and we're not
certain how to overcome it. Right now if we want to do an upgrade, the user
has to uninstall before installing the new version.
I am sure this has to be possible, I just need some pointers on the "how
to" side of things.
Thanks!
Rory
