Hi, MSI is able to store version number information upto four places. In upgrade process it consider version number upto three places only. fourth part will be ignored by its upgrade machinery.
Please check /"Note that Windows Installer uses only the first three fields of the product version"/ note at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370859%28v=vs.85%29.aspx and /"Windows Installer only uses the first 3 parts of the version in upgrade scenarios"/ at http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/major_upgrade.htm Regards, Sanjay Rao On 12/17/2012 5:39 PM, Ed Tenholder wrote: > I thought MSI only looked at first three digits, ie change 1.2.3.4 to > 1.2.4.4 to affect changes. > tenholde > > -----Original Message----- > From: Marc Fauser [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, December 17, 2012 2:54 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [WiX-users] Wix Upgrades when only revision number changes > > I have a setup which works great but has one bug. > If only the revision number changes, the setup tells me that this product > version is already installed. > > e.g. I have one msi with version 1.2.3.4 installed and I want to upgrade to > 1.2.3.5.
