If you absolutely need to change the Product UpgradeCode on every build (Is this a good idea?), then you'll need to extend your build process to do it yourself. XML is relatively easy to change, especially in PowerShell. Executing something like the following could help:
powershell -command "$wixFile = 'Product.wxs' ; $doc = [xml](Get-Content -Path $wixFile) ; $doc.Wix.Product.UpgradeCode = [System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString() ; $doc.Save($wixFile)" Edwin G.
