I have a few more questions. We have a 32-bit installer today with all
component ids explicitly specified. We are planning to move to 32/64 bit
installer (mutualy exclusive) with the ability to upgrade current
installations (major upgrade).

1. Should we update explicit component ids to "*"?
2. What is going to happen to upgrade code?
3. Is such scenario even possible? If not, what are our options?
