I can't find this question answerd in the Windows
Installer SDK. In 'changing the product code' paper I can
read that if the msi filename has been changed, then the
product code needs to be changes. But what is in the case
of a product-code change? Does the msi filename to be
changed aswell?
 
You don't need to change the MSI file name if you change the productcode Guid,
it's just usually a good idea because it reduces the confusion. --
