Get an MSI log to see what's going on. Look at all instances of FindRelatedProducts to see if it's detecting your older product.
Why is REP after InstallFinalize? This is outside the audited actions, and one of the consequences is that if the uninstall of the older product fails it will attempt to roll back and reinstall, leaving you with two entries in ARP.

I install version 1.0 of my application successfully. (It has the required Upgrade element.) To prepare for the next version of my application I increment the FILEVERSION, PRODUCTVERSION and FileVersion values in resource file from 1.0 to 1.1 and rebuild the executable. (WiX Edit reads the File Version--see below.) I go back to Wix Edit and change both the Product GUID and the Package GUID. The Upgrade ID GUID does not change. I rebuild the MSI setup package. Then I use this new package to install version 1.1 of my application. Version 1.1 of the program installs successfully but I am left with two entries in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. One points to version 1.0; the other points to version 1.1. <Upgrade Id="49AB249B-C143-412E-B138-6689533DC53A"> <UpgradeVersion Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED" Maximum="!(bind.FileVersion.gssta_exe)" IncludeMinimum="yes" OnlyDetect="no" IncludeMaximum="no" Minimum="0.0.0.0" /> <UpgradeVersion Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED" Minimum="!(bind.FileVersion.gssta_exe)" OnlyDetect="yes" IncludeMinimum="yes" /> </Upgrade> <InstallExecuteSequence> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> In the Add or Remove Programs table, if I select Remove for version 1.0 (after version 1.1 is installed) the application is not removed. (The table entry does go away.) If I select Remove for version 1.1, the application is removed. What can I do to ensure that only the latest version is shown in the Add or Remove Programs table? -- Charles ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
