You may want to actually change the version number too. I suspect this is where most of your issues are coming from.
*New Version (1.0.1.1) source snippet:* <Product Name='Simple' Id='E8592266-241F-4025-88B2-837DCB7D45EB' Language='1033' Version='1.0.0.0' Manufacturer='XYZ Corporation' UpgradeCode='3ADF5D1C-1AC4-4a29-BB9C-A73CA81925D5'> And you don't need to use CustomActions to prevent downgrading. That's what the <Upgrade> tag is for.
