I found references to the MSI upgrade table while searching in the web.
Unfortunately I don't have any idea how this is implemented in the
main.wxs. Do you have a (hopefully) simple example?

I attach the minimum working example for my main product, probably it's
easy to fill the necessary change.

Best regards,
Helge
