I think you may have sequenced RemoveExistingProducts in the wrong place in
V2.0.0.0.
It either needs to be
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallValidate" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
or
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
The first option removes all the files regardless then installs the newer
versions.
The second only removes those files that have changed between the two. I
believe
there are pros and cons to using one method over the other but I am not the
person
to tell you what they are (I use the first option in my installs).
