#2: Why not just reference the MSI ProductVersion property? Use the [] syntax
to reference properties in Registry Key, Name, or Value:
<RegistryKey Key="Some\Path\[ProductVersion]" />

For #1 I keep forgetting that's one of the topics on my list to add to the
docs. In the mean time you can read Alex's blog entry which is how I got it
working:
http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/15/from-msi-to-wix-part-8-major-upgrade.aspx.
For #2, we have this set up as a WiX preprocessor variable. Somewhere in your
file put <?define myVersion="1.0.0.0"?>. Then wherever you want to refer to it
use $(var.MyVersion).

Subject: [WiX-users] VS setup project -> WiX 3.0 conversion
I am just starting with WiX 3.0. As an exercise I converted one of our
simple VS 2008 setup projects to WiX 3.0 and have two questions so far:
1. How do I make the new installer uninstall the previous version of the
product? Is it just a matter of setting UpgradeCode?
2. How can I use Product element's Version attribute in the script?
Something like this:
<Product Id="..."
Name="..."
Language="1033"
Version="1.0.0.0">
...
<RegistryKey Key="Version" />
</Product>
I guess I can define a property, but is there a better way?
