Can the answer be as simple as when you schedule RemoveExistingProducts? Bob Arnson made this post on his blog that really helped me: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2010/01/16/major-upgrades-now-easier-than-ever/ It includes a link back to MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371197%28VS.85%29.aspx
I do my very best to avoid custom actions so although it is a little slower the default schedule RemoveExistingProducts in the <MajorUpgrade> element works best for me. -----Original Message----- From: kirannhegde [mailto:kirann.he...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 10:41 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Major upgrade removing files Folks, Thanks for all the responses. This issue happens even with normal files(not just assemblies) MSI (s) (48:F0) [07:39:21:024]: Disallowing installation of component: {4D2EB851-13AC-500F-9704-AB78102F8D0F} since the same component with higher versioned keyfile exists I dont want to implement a solution on a case by case basis. I want a generic solution which once implemented continues to work for any file, if that file has to be downgraded. Sequencing REP seems the most appropriate at the moment.
