I got it working. I used Neil's $(bal.Version(1.0)) in the MSI as well as in the bundle version, set ProdcutId to * and kept the upgrade code guids. However, the bal versioning does not suit me very well either. Could you explain a little more how to write the MSBUILD Task to implement different versioning? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-installer-upgrade-does-not-work-tp7589150p7589187.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
