@SteveL-MSFT or @raghushantha It's great to have upgradability support but does this mean that we lose the ability of having multiple version installed side-by-side? We use older versions of PowerShell Core in our CI system (that is locked down and therefore not updated unless needed) and I always found it handy being able to repro on my local machine using the same version that is being used in CI in order to replicate the exact same behaviour. |

MSI only works against A.B.C type version strings. So to enable beta.X to beta.X+1 upgrades, we have to use the
AllowSameVersionUpgradesas they are all effectively 6.0.0 from MSI point of view.Note that to get Wix toolset working on Win10, you may have to pass
