In the Visual Studio's Setup project, you have to increase Version number and VS will generate new ProductCode for your package and compile new MSI file. Make sure, that RemovePreviousVersion is True.

For creating MSIs with patches (MSP files), look at the Windows Installer XML (WiX)[^], but I don't have any experiences with this project.
