When you say "another package", I assume you mean another MSI? Make sure the component GUIDs in your MSI match the component GUIDs in the other MSI so you don't break the component rules, and then for any of the files that have file versions (such as .exe or .dll files), make sure your version numbers are higher. If you want your whole MSI to be considered an upgrade of the entire older MSI, you should read about major upgrades http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa369786(v=vs.85).aspx or minor upgrades http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370037(v=vs.85).aspx.
