Sorry for all the posts but I will explain my problem in more detail. I am not using the wixstdba, I have created my very own managed Bootstrapper Application based loosely on the Wix 3.6 Installer. Everytime I build my solution I increment the version, it is never the same (just for testing purposes). Originally this was not the case and I was essentially doing same version upgrades which resulted in multiple ARP entries. Now, when I install a version, then I try to upgrade to a new version I still always get multiple entries in ARP even though the versions are clearly different (from looking at the version number referenced in ARP). Is there something I am missing?
