If the old MSI and new MSI file have the same product code then this makes sense. Trying to install the new MSI is going to find that the same product already exists so doing a REINSTALL will try to reinstall the old product. Doing a new install will say it is already installed.

When I used "msiexec /i NewSetup.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus", I get a " A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file "C:\\...\\OldSetup.msi" ": it is looking for the old installer, halfway though the installation. When I used "msiexec /i NewSetup.msi", I get a message prompt that another version of the product is already installed, please use "add and remove programs" to configure or remove the product. Please help! What should I do to make the upgrade MSI not look for the old MSI? Thank you very much!
