Hmm....
is that best practice to install 2 major versions without changing the
UpgradeCode?.
I think handling so makes things more complicated.
Whats happen if u want to upgrade one of the version?..U should keep 2
versions of the installer or not?

You don't need to change UpgradeCode, two major versions (1.0 and 2.0
for example) can be installed at same time.
I also thought that i need to change guid of components but that's not
true in case you don't change structure of components,
but Rob told me today in thread "how to manage guids for my
application" that if same component is installed into two different
paths
that is ok to have same guid.
