install. Sounds busted but I haven't personally investigated such issues.

I have never used AppSearch before and the WiX docs are very vague on

Is there any way to tell a per-user install to do a major upgrade over a

WiX doesn't create tables unless they're needed. You can use the
EnsureTable element to make sure an empty table is created.
