If i run my app.msi in comandline my program updates perfect

msiexec.exe /i app.msi REINSTALLMODE=vomus

But if i run the application from the window, appears a messagebox showing the there is installed a version of this product.

In release properties, there is MSI Command Line Arguments. I write REINSTALLMODE=vomus, but this doesn't run ok.

How should I configure this?

The msi command line arguments in release view are only effective if you launch your setup via setup.exe but not by double clicking the msi file.

OK.

How Can I update my program clicking my app.msi ?
If I try to generate a minor upgrade, but it needs a setup.exe, and i want a app.msi

If i generate a new .msi with the changes, when starts the installation appears a messagebox: "Another version of this product is already installed."
I try to change de package code too, but i get the same result

Thanks.

You will have to pass in the command line arguments via msiexec.exe in this case.
The alternative would be to create a patch (.msp).
It's not possible to perfom a Minor Update by simply clicking on the .msi file. This only works for Major Upgrades (where the ProductCode changes)
