[wix-users] Is there a way to allow major upgrade if version is the same but product code is different?

[Joseph Musser]

With AllowSameVersionUpgrades the MSI is definitely working but Burn is not.
When I run two separate builds of the bootstrapper, with separately built
MSIs, two entries show up in Programs and Features and a reboot is queued.
Not sure how to proceed.
