Yes, I have the following element defined within InstallExecuteSequence of version 2.0.1000.0.
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallValidate" /> Another thing is that in the new version of the product, I have completely new components with different IDs. Also the files-to install and the target directory are different. Another important thing is that the product name is also different in the new version. The only similarity between the two versions is the upgrade code. Thanks. Sudripta.

Subject: [WiX-users] Upgrading an older version of product I have two versions of my MSI... one is version 1.0.0.0 and another is 2.0.1000.0. The upgrade code for both the MSIs are the same. But, there are many significant differences between version 1.0.0.0 and 2.0.1000.0, including different install directories and files-to-install. Version 1.0.0.0 installs under 'Program Files\Orange' whereas version 2.0.1000.0 installs to 'Program Files\Red'. There are no similarities between version 1.0.0.0 and 2.0.1000.0 except the upgrade code. But, even when the upgrade codes are same, version 2.0.1000.0 is unable to detect the previous version '1.0.0.0'. I have the following element defined within my wix file: <Upgrade Id='B5521437-2271-4c41-9F5D-58D4F960874C'> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect='no' Property='PRODUCTOLDVERSIONFOUND' Maximum='2.0.1000.0' IncludeMaximum='no'/> </Upgrade> But, seems the old version is not getting removed/replaced by the new version. The new version installs/uninstalls as a separate product. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
