Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Is upgrading without caching possible. The Upgrade element is only used for major upgrades. Minor upgrades are a different (often more difficult) mechanism for upgrading. The MSI SDK has a few great pages about the differences between Major and Minor upgrades. I typically recommend major upgrades.
