Use a major upgrade (i.e. change the ProductCode) , change the component guids
for the files who's names are changing, and you should be fine.

> My scenario is I created a msi v1.0.0.0 with few components (like some
> text file and dlls). These DLLs will get installed in GAC.
>
> Now I do have to create another MSI v2.0.0.0 with same number of files
> (components) as used in earlier installer but this time the name of
> DLLs has been changed. Like in 1.0 it was "My.Custom.Gac.dll" and in
> 2.0 I need to use "My.Custom.Abc.dll". Both are same dll only file
> name and version changed.
>
> Is this possible to delete the previous DLL and replace with this new
> one (treating this as same Dll as previous one). Also will this affect
> my Change/Repair feature?
