See Rich's reply: You can patch the existing product but that's still not going to give you silent uninstall/reinstall.

I guess I'm not seeing why it can't be a silent upgrade...

Maybe...if the keypath didn't change and the component otherwise stayed the same, the newer product could take over ownership of it without actually reinstalling the component. But it'd be pretty brittle; an actual update to the service executable would break this "approach."
