Subject: [WiX-users] How to Allow Same Version Upgrades in Bundles

I'm trying to implement same version upgrades in our bootstrapper. We build our 
product in one build process and later create the installers in a second 
package process. This allows us to repackage our product when fixing installer 
changes that do not affect the product in any other way. We do not change our 
versions when we repackage.

I found that instead of upgrading the existing bundle installation, the new 
bundle is installed separately resulting in two ARP entries. I found feature 
http://wixtoolset.org/issues/3746/ requesting that burn support same version 
upgrades. Feature 3746 is listed as Untriaged and had been opened for a very 
long time. I expect this means an official fix is not coming soon.

Are there any workarounds for supporting same version upgrades in bundles?
