That doesn't sound like a full log - a full log would detail exactly what file
is being overwritten and why. Something like this for the component:
MSI (c) (E8:F8) [16:20:56:127]: Disallowing installation of component:
{1CA051B0-1B70-11D2-9ADD-006097C4E452} since the same component with higher
versioned keyfile exists
Or something like this for the file:
MSI (s) (0C:9C) [16:22:08:861]: File: C:\WINDOWS\system32\atl71.dll; To be
installed; Won't patch; No existing file
With details about the file versions and if it will be replaced or not.

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 should work, so a likely problem is that maybe the upgrade isn't actually
uninstalling the older product, then your 2.5 files won't replace the 5.1
that's still on the system. 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.
Sudripta.
