That's what made me feel like a total clown. I normally test the hell

I guess you can't really know success until you've

Windows Installer won't allow concurrent installations as it's a
transactional system. Use a bootstrapper.
Also WiX != Windows Installer. WiX is a tool for making MSI's. Windows

If you want to ship updates as MSP's (Small Update or Minor Upgrade in
Microsoft terminology) don't use auto-generated GUIDs. If you're only
ever going to ship updates as MSI's (Major Upgrades) you need to change
the Product Code every time anyway so auto-generating is fine. See -
The CopyFile element should do what want.

I've seen people pushing MSI building packages which have buttons on UI
pages to launch stuff like .NET Framework installers, XNA etc. during
the InstallUISequence to bypass this issue. Personally I'd never do this
as when a sys admin pushes your package out across their domain your app

Make sure your RTF is a 'plain' RTF. Easiest way to do that is open it
in Wordpad save it. If you created or edited it in Microsoft Word it
will have a load of extra formatting all over it which causes problems
in ScrollableText Controls.
Are you using a stock WiX UI or a Custom/Customized one?
