Thanks Bob. Do I need to do anything special so that MSI won't let the user install the product a second time? Without that Condition entry, the second time I run the installer it goes through the entire UI sequence, and then just disappears with no indication of what went wrong.
I like the idea of an uninstallable minor upgrade patch that removes the launch condition. How do I author a patch to remove launch conditions? When following the instruction in Wix.chm (v2), when I create the updated installer.msi with new Package Id, should the rest of it be the same as the original installer.msi with possibly some new components, or should/can it just contain the Wix for installing the handful of files I want replaced/added in the patch?
