I am following the instructions given at http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/15/from-msi-to-wix-part-8-major-upgrade.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370840(VS.85).aspx to prevent an old package from installing. Below is the WIX file with the yellow highlight the additional steps I added. However, it does not work. It still installs resulting in a second entry in Add/Remove programs. Can someone see what is wrong? I am using WIX v3.0.3907.0. Thanks.
