MInor upgrade dosen't works

Hello people, i have a big trouble and i need some help ...

Working with IS14 i have a trouble: my minor upgrade dosen't write/overwrite ANY files. :eek:

I had created an installer, setup.exe -basic msi project-, with version 4.0.164 that works correctly but when i run the following version 4.0.169... any file is updated or repaired; the components are compiled with static linking into the project.

I had read the forums and checked that the codes weren't changed , concretely:

Package, Product and Upgrade Code, don't change between the packages, which to me seems right... because i want a minor upgrade.

When i execute the installer 169 over the previous installation 164, the windows "this setup will perform an upgrade ...." appears but don't overwrite any file with newer version (the progess of this upgrade is very very fast).

Also i had checked that if i delete all files and directories installed before the upgrade, only some components (2) of the [installdir] are fixed, other components in subdirectories are fixed and updated correctly...

I checked the the view components in IS and see that the component GUIDs not had changed beteewn 2 versions ... :confused:

Of course the log generated dosen't shows any problem... and the installation finally corectly.

some clue for me? thanks in advanced

(and sorry my poor english)

Are the files consumed by your installer properly versioned by the upstream build process?

If you don't properly increment the build number from one build to another, MSI will think there is no work to perform while costing the upgrade.

Im not sure about you are asking me...

The number of General information, Product Properties, Version, has been increased from 4.0.164 to 4.0.169.

And the files copiled in the project ...

i answer yesterday but the reply will be waitting for moderator approval.
i try again:

1) yes, some of these binary files are increased its version number (for example: 4.0.19.x to 4.0.22.x)

2) yes, the build version of the package has been increased too; 4.0.164 -> 4.0.169.

i don't see where can be the problem...

thanks again

Are you sure the files that are not getting upgraded have the incremented file version?

You have mentioned that you have the same Package, Product and Upgrade Codes. But for every release the package code needs to be changed.

Change your package codes and try again.

It's not going to be a PackageCode problem, ( InstallShield defaults this to update at each build anyways)... if the PackageCode wasn't unique, running the second build would result in a maintenance experience rather then an upgrade experience.

RE: incremented file versions, be very certain that it's the FileVersion (AssemblyFileVersion in C#; not AssemblyVersion ) thats getting updated. Also run an upgrade with logging turned on ( and possibly post it here ) and that will point you in the direction of what's going wrong.

You might also try running validation on your package to see if that points out any problems.

First thanks for your replies, i appreciate your help.

Bellow i paste installation log of the upgrade 4.0.166 over the 4.0.164 (win-2003), in this time i built the "setup.exe" with IS12. And the problem continues...

I went back, through backup, for if it was helpfull. And i'm more familiar with 12 (I suppose that there isn't incovenient with IS12).

I maintain all parameters said before:

Product code and upgrade code no change between 4.0.164 and later versions. The GUID componentes are the same too....
Like said Christopher "PackageCode" should not be a problem, (chages automatically with every release), but i wasn't sure... i was testing ...


About the other data of Christopher... the version of the files would not be the problem... because i had another packages with the exactly the same files and versions, and following the same rules, and are updated correctly ..... :confused:

MSI (c) (24:F0) [16:38:55:204]: Product:PRODUCT_NAME_4.0 -- Configuration completed successfully.[/CODE]

i'm scared for the validation .... but i gonna try it now ...

PS: MigrateFeatureStates. Return value 0. ?? is correct ?? , i'm reading the help online of IS ,.... and i'm not sure

thanks

Editting..

Checking the MSI validation Suite (IS12) the only problem that i can see is several dll are duplicated in two diferent components.
(becaue are used/linked with 2 executables components. i opt this way thinking in future projects, maybe i am wrong.... surely)

the error message is:

ISDEV : error ICE30: The target file 'tec.dll' is installed in '[ProgramFilesFolder]\aaaa\bbbb\' by two different components on an LFN system: 'processor' and 'TEC'. This breaks component reference counting.

and the same for 10 or 11 files more...
This happends only with one component (processor) of my project, but more than one of the anothers components is 100% correctly.


I hope my poor english was understood.

Finally i have solved my trouble...

I had not strictly followed the guideline update.

I was changing three components which were not linked with any file... these components only manage my services (start & stop) and I had clustered in only one.... I knew that but didn't expect such behavior; i was considerating as a separate component because it wasn't installing files. i'm big noob....

PS i had discovered an esay (& usefull) tool that unknown: "upgrade validation wizard".

Thanks for your HELP,
