It is uninstalling the previous installation correctly. I can see no files from the previous installation being there. The MSI log also doesn't state much. It only says that installation was successful. It shows every installation step as success.

That placement of REP should completely uninstall the old product first, so either that upgrade is not happening or the files are remaining behind for some other reason. An MSI log will tell you what's going on.

Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrade MSI having lower version files Hi, I am facing a problem regarding creating an upgrade MSI. 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.
