The way this works is that file version can be used to do an in-place update of the assembly in the GAC. An assembly's file version defaults to its .NET assembly version, but you can add an AssemblyFileVersion to give the assembly a file version that's different from the assembly version. The file version does not affect binding clients. The resulting MSI file will have a FileVersion row in the MsiAssemblyName table.
I assume you'll need to make your new file version higher than your current assembly version (=file version) to replace your GAC assembly.

But would I have to change the version number for the major upgrd? All we have is a minor change to one of the assemblies and this assembly could be used to host a strongly typed remoting object. if I change the version I will have to update the client configuratio with the latest version number, that is the reason we dont change the assembly version, we make sure the changes we do is compatible with the old version. did you mean an upgrade which re-installs whole system? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Patch-build-with-GAC-update-tp17880093p17960954.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
