I'm releasing a version 1.0 MSI this week and need to support upgrades since the next version should recognise the earlier installation, and retain one of the files installed in this msi without overwriting it.
What changes would I need at the minimum in this version so that the future upgrades are possible with the requirement of retaining the one file ? I'm pasting my wxs file below for reference .. I need to retain the clusterinfo.bin file in the future upgrade ..
