I'm understanding now that I can use the MajorUpgrade element while providing a UpgradeCode to achieve what I need. I'm just not sure from the documentation yet.
What attributes do I need to include for the MajorUpgrade element? I looked at the documentation and it isn't immediately clear to me. I need to still allow multiple versions of the product to be installed. They'll have the same GUIDs, though, since we can't automatically generate the GUIDs every build for the UpgradeCode. So if I say Disallow="yes" for MajorUpgrade, will I still be able to have multiple versions installed?

Famous last words! :) (Several times we've been absolutely assured that X will _never_ happen. So we base our architecture on that. A <time duration="soon"/> later, "we need to implement X". sigh. We (devs) now architect with the assumption that X will happen.) Seriously, just set the upgrade code. GUIDs are cheap. If you will never upgrade, nothing is lost. But if you do ... major pain averted!
