If you use the <MajorUpgrade> element then it is the default behavior. You're using the older way, so you need to specify it explicitly.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] remember installed features during major upgrade Peter, I own you one! MigrateFeatures did the trick. However I need to explicitly set it to Yes, although I am doing major upgrade. <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.RTMVersion)" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="$(var.CurrentVersion)" IncludeMaximum="no" Language="1033" Property="UPGRADEFOUND" MigrateFeatures="yes" /> Removing MigrateFeatures attribute does not enable this behavior by default. Is this expected? Thanks a lot!

Scenario: User has installed the product and changes the default selected features to install. During major upgrade the installer fails to remember what features user has selected to install at first place and installs all features as specified by default in the MSI. Question: How should one keep user selected features between major upgrades? Thank you!
