When I try and apply a minor upgrade to my application, I launch the installer and (depending upon the combination of settings I try) I get either a:

  • repair/remove dialog
  • prompt for the install directory

I don’t believe I should get either of these prompts. I’m mostly expecting the installer to automatically apply the upgrade and not prompt for anything. I think I’m doing everything correctly in the Visual Studio setup project:

  • upgraded the version from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0
  • left the product code the same
  • updated the package code
  • left the upgrade code the same
  • launch the installer with the parameters REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL

I’ve tried just about every combination of codes/flags and techniques, but cannot seem to get the update applied.

Any ideas of what else I can try?

    To get it to work I:

    • upgraded the version from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0
    • left the product code the same (said No when prompted by Visual Studio)
    • updated the package code (Visual Studio did this automatically)
    • did not change the upgrade code
    • launch the installer with the parameters REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL

    Just as I had indicated in my question, and it seems to be working. I can successfully apply an upgrade. However, when I run the installer I am still prompted with a repair/remove option. But, that’s a different question I guess.
