In this scenario, Bv1 needs to be repaired. Hard unsolved problem to do better 
than that.

Subject: [WiX-users] Two Different Bundles, Same MSI, Upgrade and Bundle 
Dependencies.

The main problem is that in the below scenario an MSI is uninstalled after it 
is upgraded by a second installer and that second installer is uninstalled. 
In brief this appears to be a problem with not upgrading package dependencies 
in a multiple bundle and major upgrade scenario.

*The scenario:*

Existing Installers:

MSI 'Mv1'.
Bundle 'Av1' installs 'Mv1'.
Bundle 'Bv1' installs 'Mv1'. 
MSI 'Mv2'. (Major upgrade of 'Mv1', including changing Product Id) Bundle 'Av2' 
installs 'Mv2'. (Upgrade bundle of 'Av1')

Actions:

Install Bv1.  Mv1 is installed.
Install Av2.  Mv2 is installed by upgrading Mv1 to Mv2.
Uninstall Av2.  Mv2 is found to not have other dependencies, Mv2 is removed. 
Mv1 is not on the system
Bv1 is no longer functional because Mv1 (or later) does not exist.

*Query:*

Is this an intended limitation?  Is a major upgrade not feasible in this case 
where there exists two bundles installing/upgrading the same MSI?
