However, what MSBuild creates and uses are what we refer to as P2P’s (or Project to Project references). These can be created in the IDE by right clicking the References node (C# application) and selecting “Add Reference…”. Go to the Projects tab, and choose the project that this project depends on. You can add multiple. This adds XML to the .csproj file that looks like:

{EF60F047-304C-4684-9278-E8DD8C7618F8}
Microsoft.Build.BatchBuild

This project reference allows MSBuild to make sure that the referenced project is built prior to building this project. This works on solutions or projects, in the IDE and on the command line.
Note that you can also get to the References dialog by choosing “Add Reference…” from the project menu with the appropriate project selected in solution explorer.

first option: with your command, it’s necessary NOT to change the setup project version.
second option: with my command, it’s necessary to change the setup project version

In both options it’s necessary to change main app version.

My last question is: with the first option (your command line), I you go to add/remove programs in Control Panel, you will see always “version 1.0″, it doesn’t update.

Do you know how to update the “version” that appears in add/remove programs window ?

Thanks a lot

I try vomus, vamus, and others …

Do you know what I’m doing wrong ? May be I don’t have to change the product code and version in exe or in setup project ? (now I change both)

Thanks a lot. (may be you can pulbish your test application ?)

Are you reinstalling the same package as already installed, or did you rebuild it/update its version? “vomus” doesn’t reinstall the same package, as far as I can remember now.
This is the intended behavior.

For debugging, try adding “a” or something else.

This works: c:\setup1.msi /qb
This also works: msiexec /i c:\setup1.msi /qb

BUT this doesn’t work (your default command): msiexec /i c:\setup1.msi /qb REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus
It doesn’t do anything.

Victor, do you know why ? Thanks a lot.

I don’t see why did you have to translate the source to VB, but whatever.

Sorry, that’s not enough details for me to clearly see the problem.

Anyway, MSIEXEC needs to be run with specific arguments, run “msiexec /?” to see them. That might be it.

NOTE: I also check to change major version and not only minor version, but none works.

Thanks

MSI starts, but nothing happen. I don’t why, may be the parameters used in msiexec ????

Could you help me ? Thanks a lot.

But I don’t know how to make rss files. I don’t understand very well your “readme.txt” guide. I don’t use NANT so I will write my own rss files with notepad++ or similar.

Could you help me ? What is exactly the struture of rss files ? Is it easy to do with notepad++ ?

Thanks a lot.

NOTE: When I finish my work, I will write you back with all of my experiencie in it. May be you want to publish my “little experiencie”.

THANKS
