Maybe the silent install is bypassing the UI where you set the ALLUSERS
property to per-system. So you're ending up with the default, a per-user
install, and that goes on side by side with the per-system one. Something like
that anyway. Another thing that might be happening is that you don't have the
FindRelatedProducts action in both the UI and execute sequences.

Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade code failing for silent installs
This is not strictly a WiX problem but I thought someone here may know the
answer.
If I build v1.1.0 of an MSI with a unique ProductCode and PackageCode and then
build v1.2.0 with a new ProductCode and PackageCode. Both packages contain the
same UpgradeCode and the following upgrade element:
<Upgrade Id="10B99CC9-5D83-4489-82F3-368E772B803D">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.Version)" OnlyDetect="yes"
Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED" />
<UpgradeVersion
Minimum="0.0.0"
Maximum="$(var.Version)"
IncludeMinimum="yes"
IncludeMaximum="no"
Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" />
<Property Id="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" Secure="yes" />
</Upgrade>
If I install v1.1.0 and then v1.2.0 everything is fine and the package
upgrades. If I then run v1.1.0 I see the message that a newer version is
installed. Now for the problem, if I install v1.1.0 silently (using /passive or
/qb) v1.1.0 is installed so I end up with both versions displayed in Add/Remove
programs.
Is this something I am doing wrong or am I misunderstanding how MSIs work?
Thanks
Neil
