<Bundle Name="MyProgram 1.0" 
        Version="$(bal.Version(1.0))" 
        UpgradeCode="1C81F0BB-1891-4E83-B71A-5160BA33D985"

My bundle tag in the bootstrapper project has the attributes above.

I have a few msi packages defined as follows:

<MsiPackage Id="Setup" Compressed="yes" SourceFile="Part1.msi" Vital="yes" InstallCondition="Checkbox1" DisplayInternalUI='yes'/>

On each project ( which in turns generate the msi ) i have the Product tag:

<Product Id="{92B68805-8FD4-4141-A83D-5536CABE7810}"
         Name="MyProgram 1.0" 
         Language="1033" 
         Version="1.0.0.0" 
         Manufacturer="Personal" 
         UpgradeCode="9213b13c-71d8-4e09-87aa-06cb7ff46a3a">

In this msi generation project i have my files defined in a separate source, inside a fragment :

  <Fragment>
   <ComponentGroup Id="LibrariesGroup" Directory="Libraries">
     <Component Id="cmpE4F54DB48C5EB8B2CB7E26BC77371557" Guid="4A1B7418-E85E-4429-80B4-AA377560AF06">
    <File Id="filEA72868DDB1FC039A23CCFA30C48169E" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.Libraries)\Protocol.dll" />
    </Component>
   </ComponentGroup>
  </Fragment>

My question is, how can i install 2 versions of this bootstrapper in such a way they would not interfere? Should i change the UpgradeCode in the boostrapper and that's it? What changes are needed in the projects generating the .msi packages? Is there a way to create a patch for one of those packages? For example, if i just want to replace one file with a newer version of it.
