Re: [WiX-users] product id during upgrades

[Blair]

MergeModules don't have a ProductCode. modu...@id is a value that identifies
the module to enable modularization of properties, directories, and whatnot
for the contents of merge modules in MSIs.

You can't influence (except in a negative way) upgrade types from a merge
module. Those are 100% defined in the MSI.
