No, the previous major release one back, which is the only version we allow upgrading over, has the exact same guid. We keep them mostly static once we get the initial authoring done. We've had several major releases of this product and hadn't run into this before. It reproduces on several different machines. We primarily would be doing upgrades on Windows Server 2003. I've saved verbose log files of a clean install and an upgrade. Is there anything to hone in on the logs? They are a bit tricky to beyond compare well as the upgrade logs all the RemoveExistingProducts stuff.

Subject: [WiX-users] File share missing after major upgrade If I do a clean install of our product I see the two file shares showing at the end of the install. However, when I do the major upgrade the file shares are there before I start the major upgrade and are missing by the time it is done. I've taken verbose log files of each and tried to compare them, but don't see the problem yet. I've been looking in the area of CreateSmb and it is similar in both cases. This is still a WiX 2.0 project needing an update to WiX 3.0 but probably not going to happen before we have to ship. <Component Id="ConnectSharedFilesShare" Guid="someguid"> <FileShare Id="CONNECTSHAREDFILESSHARE" Name="ConnectSharedFiles"> <Permission GenericAll="yes" User="Everyone"></Permission> </FileShare> </Component> Any ideas why a share would not be recreated on a major upgrade?
