1. Just change the <install /> and <remove />

2. increment the revision, for example, before '9.4.0', after '9.4.0.1'

I usually add .X, with X a number to fix postinstallation things for the
same version of the binary, when version is increased, the <upgrade />
is performed unconditionally.

That's why you can choose to:

- omit the <upgrade > for the transitional XML package to avoid
  reinstallation

- put a specific script in <upgrade /> to just fix things if needed (I
  usually put my postinstall.cmd for a fix only upgrade)

When the upgrade is assumed to be "done" (with or without a <upgrade
/>), the check are performed, if they succeed, the new package
definition is stored in local package database.

Regards.
