What are you setting REINSTALL to? REINSTALL="Feature1,Feature2,Feature3....NewFeature" should work. You will need to reference all your Features individually as REINSTALL="ALL" only installs those features previously installed (hence the new one will be ignored since it didn't exist previously to be installed). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371175.aspx
If you're already doing that post your Property setting code for REINSTALL & the relevant parts of your Feature tree code so we can see where the problem may lie.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to install new Feature during Reinstall? Hello, I've created new Product version installer (minor update) which contains brand-new Feature. When i try to reinstall this new version using REINSTALL and REINSTALMODE properties over the older version, then the new Feature doesn't get installed. When i try to install it on a clean machine without any previous product version, then the new Feature gets installed fine. Does anybody have an idea what could lie behind this strange behavior? ... or is it usual? What am i missing? Thanks for your help of any kind.
