So long as the Bundles' UpgradeCode is identical, I would think a MajorUpgrade
would uninstall the older version and install the new one.
However, something beyond my installer knowledge may be going on, since I don't

Personally I wouldn't use anything asynchronous or of indeterminate length such
as net stop in a cmd shell. If you're seeing something timing-related, that may
be where the issue is. Even in C++ the code to stop a service is not
complicated and is much more manageable than a c
hat it will be ok and the service will stop.
If your java runtime has an explicit way to stop a Windows service and wait for
it to actually finish, use that.

UninstEXEs) either as part of a major upgrade or a standard uninstall, to undo

Searching the internet has suggested that running EXEs

The install process was working fine before I added the CustomAction-related
