Thanks for the follow up. I have an msbuild task that generates a guid based upon the version number (i.e. the version number x.x.0.0 is converted to a string, then MD5'd) to give us a guid that is unique to each version but always reproducible. I'll try this as the product id and see how that works. Generally, when we make small incremental changes that don't break functionality, we increment x.x.0.0. These should be replace (as they are really updates) whereas the rest of the might be different functionality. Thanks for the follow up.
