[wix-users] reinstall every running

[Phil Wilson]

You have a major upgrade element that will disallow downgrades, and that
will actually disallow downgrades as you want if you've got the same
UpgradeCode as the installed package and your ProductVersion is lower in the
first three fields than the installed package, and you have a different
ProductCode - they're the basic rules to start with.

Sorry, if I was not obvious: I depoly this package with an msiexec script,
this srcipt run every start and reinstall the package. 

So, I would like add a simple version control in the msi: if the installed
version higher or equal to the packages version, skip the installation. 

(I am beginnner with WiX.)
