Hi there
That seems to simply indicate that the original MSI (of the previous version),
is no longer there. I've read that under certain scenarios MSI wants the old
versions, even for upgrades.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to upgrade
Scenario: SomeMSI.msi with version 2.0.1.0 has already been installed on local
computer.
Purpose: When a user runs SomeMSI.msi with version 2.0.2.0, the bits of 2.0.1.0
should be upgraded to 2.0.2.0
Problems: When the newer version of the msi is launched by "msiexec /I
SomeMSI.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus", an error occurred complaining
that the SomeMSI.msi with version 2.0.1.0 cannot be found.
The .wxs file is looked like:
<Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'>
<Product Id='E3B9C03E-666F-4fd4-A878-575D2D3ACF7D' Name='SomeMSI'

<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='yes' Property='OLDER_VER_FOUND'
IncludeMinimum='yes' Minimum='2.0.0' IncludeMaximum='no'
Maximum='$(env._BLDVERMAJOR).$(env._BLDVERMINOR).$(env._BLDNUMMAJOR)'/>
</Upgrade>
......
<InstallExecuteSequence>
......
<RemoveExistingProducts
After="InstallValidate">OLDER_VER_FOUND</RemoveExistingProducts>
<Custom Action='AlreadyNewestSE'
After='FindRelatedProducts'>NEWER_VER_FOUND</Custom>
......
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id='AlreadyNewestSE' Error='Spec Explorer 2 has already been
updated.'/>
......
</Product>
</Wix>
Note that the environment variables _BLDVERMAJOR, _BLDVERMINOR, and
_BLDNUMMAJOR are used to automatically update the version fields when building
the msi.
Anyone can give me some suggestions?
Thanks,
Xin
