Run upgrade in is cmd not working wixsharp

I implemented the MajorUpgrade element,

when I want to run the upgrade via the command line,

I have to to run the msi of the higher version with /i .(e.g msiexec /i <path_to_higher_msi>)

/u does nothing. (e.g does show no error/ no message at the event viewer and not install/upgrade)

How can I have it work?

For example:

I build the project with version 1.2.3 and install it. Then I rebuild the same solution but with higher version 2.4.5. and run msiexec /u I can see in the Control Panel that the version was updated.

The bug starts as I produces two releases from the pipeline..

I have the same upgradeCode in both and a unique productId
Tnx.

Solution

  • Ok, So I found the answer thanks to wix-user-list

    There is no /u for upgrading,

    /u is used for a patch in the current version, not for updating for an higher version
