Hi, all

I'm trying to work out some kind of service pack installer, which will install 
new features on the installed system without any effect on the existing running 
services.

Anyone could help me the following questions about Installer package using WIX 
produced?

For example:
 I have installed our product on a distributed environment and it is online 
work, now I have some other new features for this product, and I want to 
install all these new features into the installed product system online.

   Q1: If I don't want to use patch or service pack to install these new 
features, could I produce a new MSI which is only with these new features 
components and has the same produce code/name as the existed running product 
system, And make sure this feature's MSI can install these new features into 
the existed running system successfully as the result of clean installer using 
a complete product MSI package including all the old and new features? WIX can 
support this kind of MSI produced? If yes, what I should do? Any recommended 
docs?

   Q2: Service pack is kind of collection for patch install package? Is it MSP?

   Q3: If there is some kind of feature installer tech, please recommend me 
some detailed tutorials and excellent documents on it?


I'm fishy on WIX and Installer, Be appreciated for any hints, thanks
