I have created an MSI package/setup with the Wix toolset. I want to customize it so users will be prompted whenever an update is available. I tried googling and found something about "Click Through" built-in function for Wix. I have no idea how to implement that, wasn't able to find any documentation.
would anyone be able to help me, please?
here is my code
