The one value that is important here is the amus, so what is amus and how to add all the REINSTALLMODE property:Īfter installing orca, open it and drag your msi file after building the solution off course. The REINSTALLMODE property is a property added to the MSI file by editing it using a software called orca (just Google it ”download orca for MSI”), this property have many values and many options that can be given to it.
When you are working on a windows application and deploying your solution every now and then, you should be aware on not deleting all files on reinstall like the database file and some files generated by the user.īut when changing you application setup project version number you will notice that the EXE file will not be updated in most of the times, to ensure that the EXE file will be reinstalled you will have to add a property to the MSI file called REINSTALLMODE and give it a value “amus”, I know for now this will make no sense for you so I will explain a little bit more about this issue.
