Are the files in question assemblies being installed to the GAC? Also, why are you lowering the version of the files?

Our previous installation package (msi) had some files which had a higher version than our current installation package (msi). The files in the previous installation had a version of 5.1.xxxx. The files in the new installation package has a version of 2.5.xxxx. In our wix file we have the element 'RemoveExistingProducts' under 'InstallExecuteSequence' and is scheduled to come after 'InstallValidate'. But, when we run the new MSI over the old installation, the files which have a lower version in the new MSI are not getting installed. How do I make it install the files even when they have a lower version? Thanks.
