I've been using Burn since it came out in Wix 3.6 with 20 product installers. MajorUpgrade has been an important requirement for all of them. I have had no major upgrade issues with any of these installers.

AFAIK candle compiles the MajorUpgrade element and the MajorUpgrade/@Schedule into the msi package which is parsed by msiexec at installed time without any involvement of Burn. I use a Burn bootstrapper to drive a chain of msi packages. There is a concept of a Burn 'major upgrade' but it is unrelated to the MajorUpgrade element. I have a number of Burn driven products. I make sure that bootstrapper's Product/@Version changed for each build (even when nothing else is changed, and also use Product/@="*" ) and I have not had any problems with the upgrade behavior. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Force-a-MajorUpgrade-to-do-complete-uninstall-BEFORE-new-install-tp7597686p7597712.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
