There won't be version conflicts, the MSIs will behave the way they always do. The only question is how many APR entries you end up with. In some cases, you may end up with two ARP entries. That's necessary because the Burn engine will cache the MSI (which greatly improves install success rates

Addons (and patch) bundles follow the main bundle (more written here: https://support.firegiant.com/entries/24024208-Bundle-chain-execution-order-). To get the behavior you want, you'd need an upgrade relationship. I think a custom BA could override the default behaviors without using an upgrade

Actually, if your addon's aren't backwards compatible any longer it sounds like you should change the addon related id. That way, when the old version of the main bundle is removed, it will take the old addons with it since the new main bundle says it isn't related to them. On Thu, Jul 25, 2013
