Thanks Phil.
Your have hit the bullseye. You are right. I saw the log and it seemed the
ALLUSERS property which was the reason. Using ORCA I added ALLUSERS as a new
row in the property table and set its value to 1. After that the upgrade worked
perfectly.
So, now my next question is... Is there any way to remove the older version
even if the ALLUSERS property is different for the two versions? The old MSI
was created by some other guy and has been deployed to many machines. I have to
use ALLUSERS as 1 in my new setup. Is there any way to uninstall the old
product?
Thanks.
Sudripta.

It's nothing to do with the same user account. It's about the value of the
MSI's ALLUSERS property. If you didn't set it before then it defaulted to a
per-user install. Your current setup is a per system install with ALLUSERS=1
that will not upgrade the other version. Produce a log while doing the upgrade
and see what FindRelatedProducts reports.
It's not important that ARPNOMDIFY is different. It is important that ALLUSERS
is different.

The older version hadn't any ALLUSERS value set. The new version has ALLUSERS
set to 1. But, I am installing both the versions from the same user account and
it's still failing.
One more important aspect is that the older version had 'ARPNOMODIFY' set to 1.
But, it hadn't any 'ARPNOREMOVE' property. The new version hasn't got any of
the property.
Thanks.

..... and are the ALLUSERS values the same? I believe there's a permachine /
perUser choice but the MSI default is per user I believe.

Do you have a RemoveExistingProducts action defined in your execution sequence?

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.
Sudripta.
