Stefan Krueger posted recently in the psdk group:
"Also with MSI 4.5 you can embed the launcher in the .msi file, eliminationg
the need for an external exe, and improving compatibility with deployment
via Active Directory. "
I wonder if this raises the possibility of addressing issues like you
mention. Basically get rid of that annoying `another product is already
installed`, and instead invoke the launcher, detect an existing installed
product with PackageCode change, prompt do you want to do an upgrade and then
invoke the MSI with the proper REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE properties.

some reading around suggests that you can't do small updates and
minor upgrades by just double-clicking the new .msi file, so that's
undesirable from our point of view as well.
