Subject: Re: Add version to uninstaller string
I'm not sure how WiX is generating all this but only the
ProductCode GUID and UpgradeCode GUID matter for preventing multiple
installs. As long as those are the same, you can change the ProductName
as much as you want. If the WiX is somehow basing the ProductCode on the
ProductName, then changing it would be an issue. I make installers at
work regluarly with the point version # in the ProductName mainly
because people are lazy or don't know about clicking "support
information".
Sorry, hit the wrong key. Also sorry for formatting - Outlook
isn't letting me get out of the quote.
Anyway.
Just wanted to say that currently, the WiX changes the
ProductCode GUID each time it's built, because it handles upgrades with
MSI's "Major Upgrade" scenario. Reference:
