[wix-users] Question on Minor upgrade

You can puncture them though.  (Replace the file with a zero byte file of the same name, mark the component as transitive and give it a conditional expression that always evaluates to false.)


Otherwise I also prefer major upgrades as my default solution.  I rarely have a project that needs minor.

New components are ok but you cannot remove a component from an existing feature in a minor upgrade (unless you are going to restrict to 4.5+ and do extra work).

Can a new component (say a file or a registry key) installation or removal of an existing component be part of Minor Upgrade?
