Hi Bob, I have discovered a few hours ago that SetInstallLevel to 1 in an upgrade will actually refresh the Features and install only the features that I want. Your suggestion would help if the setup type had 3 options: Typical, Full, Custom. This setup has more levels and tuning INSTALLL

I don't think there's a way to have a remove button implemented inside a major upgrade MSI package. At least not from WiX. WinDbg supports Upgrade and CustomUpgrade modes, which are somewhat helpful, but it seems that there are no samples (tutorials or other MSI distributions) like the one I nee
