Thanks all. I missed the "Disallowing installation of component". That lead to finding where I had messed up.
Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: Wilson, Phil [mailto:phil.wil...@invensys.com] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 2:03 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

The middle log entry says you're removing Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dll, and note that it has a different component ID. It looks like you may have a file versioning issue because Windows is deciding not to install the new one because a higher versioned one already exists. However you also broke the sharing rules somehow because the two Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dlls (in the old and the new inbstall) have different component ids. The story seems to be "I'm not installing it because there's a higher version already on the system" and "Nobody's using this Component guid any more so I'm going to remove it" Phil Wilson 949-639-1680 -----Original Message----- From: jjbean [mailto:jonks2...@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 12:42 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] New file not installed Here's a clue: MSI (c) (CC:18) [10:47:26:095]: Disallowing installation of component: {CA4F7916-B9A9-5D6E-BD7A-98EFFC15AAA3} since the same component with higher versioned keyfile exists ... ...

You did say that in an earlier post didn't you? The new dll should be in a new component with a unique GUID. The log reads (although I'm probably not 100% accurate) as if you may have reused an existing wix component to home a new dll. If this is the case, do not do this. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/New-file-not -installed-tp6696061p6700572.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
