We want each build of the installer to be a "Minor Upgrade" (based on terminology from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370037.aspx)

Can we automatically regenerate ProductCode when building from the command line? Can we use variable and INI-override option to specify ProductCode?

The ProductCode is supposed to not change (stay the same) for a minor upgrade.

It's a major upgrade where the product code changes.

To change settings like the ProductCode from an unattended build, use build variables. (Build > Settings > Variables tab, /VARS command line option.)
