In general, *everything* actually is documented in the Windows Installer SDK. However, it's not organized very well and the way I had to learn it was to read every single page over and over and during the course of troubleshooting the little tidbits would finally be absorbed. I'd say it took me 6 months to stop beating my head against the wall and drink the kool-aid that MSI was a good choice and 6 more months to have that 'been there done that' feeling where it was now instinctive on what to do and not do. A good mentor to work with on a daily basis helps in this process but they are typically impossible to find at your day job. ---------------------------------------- From: "Shehnaz Khan" <shehnaz_k...@persistent.co.in> Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2014 2:32 AM To: "General discussion about the WiX toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Multiple entries in ARP, while upgrading an installation. Is there any documentation which would explain this behavior? It would be of great help.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Multiple entries in ARP, while upgrading an installation. It's a MSI package? MSI doesn't look at fourth position in version. So it only see's "4.0.0" when upgrading. -----Original Message----- From: Shehnaz Khan [mailto:shehnaz_k...@persistent.co.in] Sent: January-15-14 6:57 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Multiple entries in ARP, while upgrading an installation. Hi, I created the installer for my application using Wix. The version of that application was like 4.0.1.0. I need to upgrade that app to another version say 4.0.1.1. I created another installer for it keeping Upgrade code same as before, different product and package codes. After completing installation i am seeing both the versions entries in ARP. Please tell where i am going wrong? Regards, Shehnaz Khan DISCLAIMER ========== This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the property of Persistent Systems Ltd.
