I have a client that is trying to install our product on one of their
systems.

Hi folks,
quick question...
MSI can use the property WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED to determine if an upgrade
is in progress, does burn have a similar property to determine if an upgrade
is happening with the Bootstrapper?
if not then what is the point of having the UpgradeCode in the bundle?
thanks,
I could really use some help with this...
