Actually, it's +1 on new UpgradeCode and ProductCode attributes to
ProductSearch rather than adding an attribute that adds a mode to
overload another attribute. (In WiX v3.x, we'd have to keep the existing
attributes working as they do today, of course.)
I'd like to approach this with as little functionality as needed. I like
the idea of returning the highest-versioned product as a version. That
feeds right into DetectCondition and InstallCondition expressions.
I'm not sure the alternatives I suggested have much value and adding all
the FindRelatedProducts goop seems like overkill.

2. "Detect all installed language packages". I'm certain if we don't
do this correctly we'll get bit somewhere.
3. Agreed. This seems to go along with Bob's suggestion to have a
"first, all, highest" enum to control the return.
Honestly, these discussions are usually easier if we're discussing
real examples. Can you throw out some XML examples of what you're
thinking that might address all the feedback and we can tweak from there?

1. Was your +1 for using a new attribute in the ProductSearch
element or for creating a new element altogether?
2. I agree that most of the time you are just looking for the
latest version so you can do a comparison. I am having trouble
thinking of a use case for returning all related products but I'm
sure one exists...does anyone have one?
3. I like how ProductSearch lets you get at other information as
well (and can see it being extended in the future to support more
of the stuff here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370130%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
). That is why I think it would be nice to keep things in one
element if possible.

80 percent case (90 maybe?) would be covered by a boolean
result with a
min-version check. But maybe another Result enum for boolean,
first
match, all matches semicolon delimited.
