Hello Peter, thanks for the pointer. I gone through the link in your reply and it seems my MSP contains newer version of binary.
MSI installs file with version: 4.1.29.0 MSP has the file with version: 4.1.30.0 Also creation date of older file is less then newer file. So something else is creating the mess. Also there is nothing like "Won't patch" or " Won't Overwrite" in the log file. Checked with different combinations. Thanks AK. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 7:07 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] MSP install issue I usually see this when someone has not updated the file version in the replacement file. The file versioning rules might help. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368599%28VS.85%29.aspx You should also look in the log for "Won't patch" or " Won't Overwrite" -----Original Message----- From: Arun Kumar [mailto:arun_jku...@persistent.co.in] Sent: 08 February 2011 13:23 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] MSP install issue Hi All, I have created an MSP that is supposed to update an binary of older version with newer version. But when I install this MSP it does not update the binary. Instead when I delete binary from INSTALLDIR and run the MSP, newer version binary gets installed. So the issue is why my MSP is not updating older version binary? I had also tried by setting REINSTALLMODE to "vaums" and "voums" as follows: msiexec.exe /p patch.msp /l*vx C:\patch.log REINSTALLMODE=vaums Still it doesn't work for me. Any pointers will be really helpful. Thanks, AK DISCLAIMER ========== This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the property of Persistent Systems Ltd.
