Hi, I am pretty new to the world of WiX but have found it to be a very useful tool. I am having the following issue however and after 2 days of googling it is driving me nuts.
I have a bootstrapper that install .net 4.0 if required and then installs my msipackage. I opted for the major upgrade everytime when making changes to the files installed. Each of my executable files have their version number updated to the current revision number in SVN. When I install my application the first time it installs fine and all the services are started and installed and all the required files are there. When I run the next version of the installer (so a major upgrade) it seems to be installing the new msi and then uninstalling the old one. At this point all that is left on my machine is the service executables and nothing else, all the other files have been removed including the .exe.config files rendering the application useless. Any ideas what I am doing wrong, its driving me crazy!!!
