Could Not Upgrade From 6.0 To 6.1 By Running The New .msi

Because I am the champion of TP in my office, I upgrade to the latest greatest and make myself the guinea pig.
I was able to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1, but not by downloading and running the new .msi file.
I extracted the 6.1 .msi to the location where I had the 6.0 .msi, and then went through Control Panel, Add/Remove, and did a Repair of TP. That upgraded me to 6.1
Now when I run the 6.1 .msi file, it will run and offer up Modify, Repair, Remove. However, when I had 6.0, the 6.1 .msi would not run.
WinXP SP3

May be some error in MSI packaging config or some dificulties to implement msi update?
Workaround:
uninstall
Code: Select all
MsiExec.exe /X{3F04067F-0DA5-4F48-9A89-6FCFD2A9E040} /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress
and install new one msi:
Code: Select all
msiexec /norestart /passive /quiet /i "textpad 6.msi"
It keeps config and license untouched...

Isn't that the same as uninstalling from Add/Remove (which is what the error message instructs you to do anyway)?

Sure it is. But you save bunch of keyborad presses.
For company wide upgrade it is reasonable time saver...
There are lot of unattended install specialized sites where you can find info about install/unistall automation. Some are quite tricky, Textpad is clear...
