Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if it is possible to have an existing product that was
installed using a Visual Studio Setup Project  be migrated so that the MSI
is part of a Burn bundle and the upgrade process does not involve
RemoveExistingProducts.  

The new Burn bundle contains many of the same files as the original, but
quite a few have changes, as well as adding additional folders and registry
entries not included in the old install, and installing additional packages
as part of the bundle.

I've read so much online about UpgradeCode and Upgrade elements and the vast
majority of the examples refer to RemoveExistingProducts. Are there any
realistic options for an approach similar to the above? It would be vastly
preferable to just add to the existing files as there is user specific data
associated with existing installs.

I've tried having the MSI use the original UpgradeCode, as well as using it
in the Burn bundle itself to no avail.
