Best I could think is to use Burn and make each install able to side by side install, and conditionally remove the old copy based on user input inside a custom BA.. You'd lose the major upgrade goodies of Windows Installer, but it should work.

(wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade and side by side with the same installer Hi All, Is it possible to create an installer that would do an upgrade or side-by-side based on the user input? Say we have 1.0 installed. When the user runs a version 2.0 of the same product, give him a choice to either upgrade the existing or install as a side by side. Is it a good architecture to even allow this? --Pavan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
