One thing to look at would be how FindRelatedProducts is scheduled in the InstallUISequence and InstallExecuteSequence. Also look at what the ActionProperty in the Upgrade table is set to in both cases.

If I run in full UI mode, everything works as expected. If I run the upgrade with /qn, the RemoveExistingProducts does not work and I end up with both products installed on the system. RemoveExistingProducts is scheduled right after InstallInitialize. Verbose log says: MSI (s) (B8:28) [03:53:57:096]: Doing action: RemoveExistingProducts Action ended 3:53:57: InstallInitialize.
