Anyone have any thoughts on this? In my mind I am thinking that I would need to transform the Upgrade Code for each instance and the values in the upgrade table to match for windows installer to properly identify the specific instance I wanted to upgrade such that in my newer installer "Instance1" upgrade code matches my older installer upgrade code. This is just speculation, so if anyone has any experience supporting a major upgrade for an install with multiple embedded transforms, I would love to hear what you did.

Subject: [WiX-users] question about upgrades and instance transforms Hi All, I am in the process of making the necessary changes to my installer to make it support a major upgrade. I have found several resources describing the creation of a major upgrade, and I think I understand at least for the default instance of my product, how to write the Wix required to make this work. However, in my application I have supported multiple side by side installations through the use of embedded transforms created by the Wix nodes <InstanceTransforms> and <Instance...>. Is there anything that I need to do differently in the creation of a major upgrade installer so that it will work correctly with transformed instances of my original install?
