Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Update Detection Yes you need an upgrade section and to schedule RemoveExistingProducts, there is an example here: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2009/01/wix-script-for-major-upgrade s.html Neil -----Original Message----- From: Lukas Haase [mailto:lukasha...@gmx.at] Sent: 03 August 2010 12:01 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Update Detection Hi, It was mentioned a few times on this list that if the UpgradeCode stays the same, MSI performes an upgrade. This is my preamble: <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'> <Product Name='Test' Id='*' UpgradeCode='$(var.UpgradeCode)' Language='1031' Codepage='1252' Version='1.0.0' Manufacturer='Test'> <Package Id='*' Keywords='Installer' Description="Test" Comments='...' Manufacturer='Hamsoft' InstallerVersion='100' Languages='1031' Compressed='yes' SummaryCodepage='1252' /> The upgradecode is defined successfully with <?define UpgradeCode = and also Orca shows the correct code. So now I just call the compiler a second time such that a new Product Id is generated and the UpgradeCode stays the same. Normally this should yield a major upgrade and the product should be upgraded. But the Installer does not detect the old version and the new version is even installed *over* the old one (into the same directory!). In the control panel/software there are two uninstaller icons now... Is there anything else I need to take care?
