No. When major upgrades happen after InstallFinalize, the new product is installed "on top of" the old product, which increments component reference counts, then the old product is uninstalled, which decrements component reference counts. If the key path of a component doesn't need to be updated, MSI won't do anything with it. Since MSI only knows about key paths it supports, it's probably going to decide that your cert component doesn't need upgrading. The easiest fix is to include your cert in a component with a versioned file as its key path. You might also want to check on whether a newer version of MSI fixes this bug; I seem to recall 4.5 solving this problem.
