I am using Installshield DevStudio 9 sp1.

I have a basic msi compiled into a setup.exe. I have a major and minor upgrade created. When the setup is launched i get the prompt to do the minor upgrade, however I get error 1316. It is looking in the locals directory for the previous msi. I thought when you use the setup.exe it sets the reinstallmode to vomus so it will re-cache the old msi. It appears it is not doing this.
Is there a way to have the setup.exe set the reinstallmode to this?

Thanks

After more investigation...

The version number of the previous install was 2.3.2. I was changing the version to 2.3.2.1 and got the above error.

When I left the version number alone it worked fine!?

Why is this? I thought the installer ignored the 4th position version number?

Thanks
