That looks like the problem.  Looks like I can simply specify 
UpgradeVersion/@MigrateFeatures="yes" and wix will do the rest.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Do you have the action MigrateFeatureStates in your Install and UI execution 
sequences.

I've followed the article in the Wix docs titled "How To: Implement a Major 
Upgrade In Your Installer".

Everything works fine, except when I perform the major upgrade, it uses the 
default feature selection rather than selecting the features that were 
installed with the prior version.

So I have two features, A and B that are normally installed by default.  The 
user installs version 1 and selects only feature A.  Then some time later the 
user goes to install version 2.  I want only feature A upgraded.  The current 
functionality is to have both features enabled, which upgrades feature A and 
installs feature B.

How can I check the previous feature selection so the feature tree is loaded 
properly with the prior selections?  I use the standard CustomizeDlg from WixUI.


Thanks,
