[wix-users] Backward compatibility level of latest 3.X version of WIX with 3.4/3.5 version?

[Rajeev Bansal (WSSC)]

So can we assume that replacing old (WIX3.5) Wix tool set with latest WIX tool set will not break anything?

Thanks,
Rajeev

Yes.

Of course, WiX v3.5 is almost a decade old. So, you may be dependent on bugs no one remembers fixing.

There is no such thing as WiX v3.4.

Hi,

What is the backward compatibility level of latest 3.X version of WIX with 3.4/3.5 version?
We are at the 3.5 version of WIX and wants to upgrade to latest 3.X version, so want to know if we have some breaking changes on the way and do we claim latest WIX 3.X versions are fully backward compatible?

Thanks,
Rajeev
