I would think that as long as the ProductVersion, the ProductCode and the PackageCode changes and the Upgrade table contains the versions to be upgraded in the Min/Max version fields, it should act as a Major Upgrade.

Subject: [WiX-users] Major Upgrades and Versions We have an automated build that runs continually. We'd like each MSI produced to behave as a major upgrade so that we can apply any newer MSI on a target environment easily. Our build process fixes the first two parts of our version numbers to predetermined values and allows the remaining two values to vary on a per-build basis. I understand I need to change produ...@id and produ...@version with every build while keeping produ...@upgradecode constant to implement major upgrades. If produ...@version changes from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4 will the MSI produced behave as a major upgrade? Edwin G.
