I am new to WiX 3.0 and writing my first installer based on WiX (coming from Wise).
If the product is already installed (in the current version), I want the installer to switch to "repair"-mode automatically. It should behave exactly like as if I would have clicked "repair" in the Windows software dialog.
It must behave like this to fit in the overall installation process of the system.
I read the documentation but can't get hold of the problem...

The WiX tools follow the traditional compile and link model used to create executables from source code. At build time, the WiX source files are validated against the core WiX schema, then processed by a preprocessor, compiler, and linker to create the final result.

You can use the Installed property to conditionalize a SetProperty element for REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE properties. Be careful to test upgrades to ensure that you add the other parts of the condition (REMOVE<>"ALL") so that the upgrade of the old product stays an uninstall and doesn't flip to repair. :)
