FYI - I have confirmed (using a different project which has not been changed
for some time) that when the bundle is built using wix 3.8.1128 it does not

Specifically:
Bundle A (built using 3.8.1128)
Bundle B (built using 3.9.70
Did anything in the first 3 parts of the version number change?
Also, posting the install log (and linking to it here) would tell us what it's

Just to mention repair briefly, it does indeed repair broken

My concern is with "incremental upgrades instead of taking the largest leap

A related behavior that I am observing is that when a Bundle is installed on
