Can someone point me towards some exhaustive information/examples on how to
add upgrade/repair capabilities to my installer?  On repair it would
basically just replace the installed files with the ones in the installer
regardless of version, upgrade would naturally only install if the version
in the installer is higher than the installed version.

On upgrade, one of my projects is a Windows Service.  Will WIX automatically
handle the stopping/starting of the service on upgrade or will there be code
I will need to include to handle this?

Also, is it possible on upgrade to have configuration files update but only
specific sections?  I have configuration files that handle binding redirects
for versions of third party controls, so on upgrade if those controls are
newer than the existing ones they need to be updated and the redirects in
the configuration file has to be updated, but the configuration file also
holds custom properties that the users can set that do not need to be
modified on upgrade.

Thank you in advance for your help.
