As always, Bob thanks! The fog is parting a little. :) I'd noticed the

realize that it applied to ExePackage stuff as well.

That's problematic for two reasons:

RemoveExistingProducts is part of the MajorUpgrade element. The Schedule

Tyler,
Problem 1 - In order for a major upgrade to work, you have to call
RemoveExistingProducts to remove older versions. Given your post, I
don't see that in your execute sequence.
Problem 2 - I can't offer any advice for that, sorry.

I have faced this problem sometime back and I had tried several approaches

successful in solving this (Perhaps I was committing other errors).

Part of the problem I believe is that because after the file is installed it is
changed with tasks so WiX doesn't remove this file on uninstall. The
other files (assemblies, etc.) get removed on uninstall so I always get what is
in the .msi file. Right now works and maybe that is the solution.

You can version lie, buts its usually not a good idea as the file will get
replaced every time the installation is run (it's what installshield does
when you click "always overwrite").
If you really need to do it then you set File@DefaultVersion to a valid file
version.

Rule for unversioned files is that if a file is modified after creation then
it will not be overwritten. This is with the rationale that if a user has
modified it then it should be left undisturbed.
