Upgrade Table requires UpgradeCode column value.
Old product didn't have UpgradeCode.
I do not know how to add record with empty UpgradeCode to Update table - 
wix refuses to build such a project.

How to check if ProductCode (differs from ProductCode of current msi) 
installed, using custom action?
