Speaking of using the Upgrade table to do detect only searches, is there a reason why WiX won't allow me to author this in a merge module?
We have merge modules maintained in ORCA that we are trying to convert to WiX and WiX won't allow it. I can't think of a reason why using the Upgrade table to do a search and property assignment would be problematic in a merge module.
