Hi Sébastien, Thanks for your reply.
I was misled by this tutorial : http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php which ask me to change the package GUID as well for major upgrade. And the "REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus" which I used as stated in the tutorial, should be "REINSTALL=MyFeature REINSTALLMODE=omus" for my small upgrade. Thanks again! Hope you have a nice day!
