I created a minor upgrade where some components were deleted. It seemed to work. What are the potential problem I could face if I use minor upgrades when components need to be deleted?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom action bug - can it be fixed in an upgrade? Hi Rob, This works great. I tested it out and the uninstall worked great with the newly cached msi. But - with this minor upgrade mechanism, I cannot delete components. I will definitely have to delete components. Is there anything I can go given that I have to delete components for the upgrade?

MSI SDK has information about all the upgrade/update mechanisms.
