Nope, no one has added that functionality to smoke or some other similar tool.  
Sounds kinda' interesting though.

I'm looking for something that detects violations of the
feature/component authoring rules (i.e changes that that will break
minor upgrade).

InstallShield has a tool which you pass the path to the build output  +
the paths to one or more previous releases.
Their tool compares the build output against each previous release and
warns if feature/component authoring rules have been broken, and where.
Every now and then it's saved me from lengthy investigation time finding
a single change to a component that should not have happened.

My hopes were up that smoke would do minor upgrade validation when I saw
that it's cmd line accepts more than one msi file path.
But alas...

I've started to use MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES.
It helps for post-mortem, but it would be useful to be able capture
problems at build time.


Thanks

Jon
