I may be wrong but the command line you are using (msiexec /I
SomeMSI.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus) is telling it to
reinstall 2.0.1.0 but you are supplying the 2.0.2.0 msi. To upgrade you
simply need to run "msiexec /I SomeMSI.msi".

Subject: [WiX-users] How to upgrade
Scenario: SomeMSI.msi with version 2.0.1.0 has already been installed
on local computer.
Purpose: When a user runs SomeMSI.msi with version 2.0.2.0, the bits of
2.0.1.0 should be upgraded to 2.0.2.0
Problems: When the newer version of the msi is launched by "msiexec /I
SomeMSI.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus", an error occurred
complaining that the SomeMSI.msi with version 2.0.1.0 cannot be found.
The .wxs file is looked like:
<Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'>
<Product Id='E3B9C03E-666F-4fd4-A878-575D2D3ACF7D' Name='SomeMSI'

</Upgrade>

......
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id='AlreadyNewestSE' Error='Spec Explorer 2 has already
been updated.'/>
......
</Product>
</Wix>
Note that the environment variables _BLDVERMAJOR, _BLDVERMINOR, and
_BLDNUMMAJOR are used to automatically update the version fields when
building the msi.
Anyone can give me some suggestions?
Thanks,
Xin
