Another thing you might try, if it's viable for your installer, is to have it uninstall/remove the previous version and do a re-install. We do this with our automated builds/deployments for Quality Assurance (which may happen a few times a day on some projects.) Section four of 'the tutorial' cover

[WiX-users] VS2005 C++ and Custom Actions

You can use Orca to export all your tables and do a diff, maybe. But I'm not sure diffing .msi's is practical since there are certain things that are auto-generated (GUID's, etc.) It would take an awful lot of eyeballing no matter what, so testing post-install functionality of your app might be a b
