Don't remove it, just upgrade it.

MSI packages are usually no problem to upgrade to the already installed 
version.

Depending on the package revision, I would add the date of the change.
If you have multiple changes a day add the time to it too.

Initial package version ......... 2.3.8
First correction ................ 2.3.8.2012.01.25
Second correction on same day ... 2.3.8.2012.01.25.13.44
Real upgrade next time .......... 2.4.2
