kelly.le...@milliman.com asked the right question.
Go back to Product/@Id="*", and make sure that Product/@Upgrade is identical
to Upgrade/@Id. Most of us create a <?define?> and use that.
Here is the pattern:
<?xml ...?>
[...]
<?define UpgradeCode=<insert guid here that you NEVER EVER CHANGE. Use the
one you already released if you released already>?>
[...]
<Wix...>
<Product Id="*" Upgrade="$(var.UpgradeCode)" ...>
<Package .../>
...
<Upgrade Id="$(var.UpgradeCode)">
...
</Upgrade>
...
</Product>
[...]
</Wix>

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] multiple entries in add remove programs.
Hello All
I thought I found a solution that works.
1. I used the original GUIDs of the Product, and of the components I
wanted to upgrade. (replaced the '*' with the GUIDs of the original setup).
2. use the same feature name as in the original setup.
3. Run the following command "msiexec /i xxxx.msi REINSTALL=FeatureName
REINSTALLMODE=vomus"
The upgrade works and there is only one entry in the Add Remove Programs.
The problem is that Uninstall removes only the components I upgrade
instead of removing all the original installation. The size of the
installation in the add remove programs is the original setup size not
the upgrade size.
