Great news and congratulations on reaching this milestone. A while back I posted some questions to the forum about how to structure an msi to automatically set REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE property settings to necessary values for patch and minor upgrade processing. There were working solutions for the patch msp case but in the case of minor upgrade processing the remark was made that you need to build a msi wrapper that launches it with REINSTALL=ALL and REINSTALLMODE=vomus versus being able to automatically detect minor upgrade scenarios and set those properties automatically within the msi. Well it appears from my installation of the 3.0.4805.0 wix3_x64.msi that there is some solution in place allowing you to just run the msi directly and for it to determine a minor upgrade is necessary and set the required REINSTALL=ALL and REINSTALLMODE= vomus property values so that the minor upgrade processing can succeed. Any tips on how that was accomplished so it can be reused in other wix authored msi work?
