Thanks Rob!
Seems like you're right!
So in this case how can I perform an upgrade via the command line, without uninstalling and reinstalling?
the wix installer outputs an *.msi product, not *.msp.
Tnx.

/u isn't a valid command-line switch to msiexec.exe. Here's the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/msiexec

Hi,
I implemented a simple wix installer.
I tested the upgrade scenario and it worked as expected.

Now I want to tp perform the upgrade via the command line,

msiexec /i <path_to _msi> works as expected as well
msiexec* /u* <path_to _msi> doesn't work at all. it's not triggering the ui and the event viewer doesn't display any message/event.
So I have two questions:
Is it possible to perform an upgrade using the */u* parameter?
Is it majorUpgrade wissue or a wix issue?
Thanks!
