[wix-users] Disallowing installation of component: {Component GUID goes here} since the same component with higher versioned keyfile exists

[bevan.weiss at gmail.com]

Are you ticking the boxes from Microsoft in regards to multi-instance
installer authoring?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/msi/authoring-multiple-instan
ces-with-instance-transforms

My suspicion is that these files that are missing happen to be shared
between multiple instances (i.e. have the same destination path / keyfile
locations), and hence the issue.

Bevan

I have a multi instance installer. I am trying to do a major update to one
of the instances by installing it. It removes the existing installation and
begins the installation of the new version, but, doesn't restore all of the
files. There are several of the subject messages in the log file, each of
which corresponds to the missing files. I know I'm doing something wrong. I
just can't seem to nail down what it is. Can anyone give me a clue?
