Unless you authored the "error message during installation that another version has already been installed and this needs to be first uninstalled before proceeding with the install" then might be attempting a minor update (my term for what would be a minor upgrade, except the fourth part of the version is ignored, turning it into a small update), not a major upgrade. Are you sure you are changing ProductCodes? If the ProductCode is not different, both the MajorUpgrade element and the Upgrade/UpgradeVersion elements are ignored.

According to http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_majorupgrade.htm, I can use AllowSameVersionUpgrades attribute to do this. However, I am getting build errors as this element is not recognized. error CNDL0004: The MajorUpgrade element contains an unexpected attribute 'AllowSameVersionUpgrades'. Has this been dropped from the schema in 3.5? How else can I achieve the same version upgrade? I have tried, <Upgrade Id="{F57F3EEE-DE43-49A8-89CF-94477062396F}"> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="4.9.1" Property="NEWERPRODUCTFOUND" OnlyDetect="yes" IncludeMinimum="no" /> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="4.9.1" Maximum="4.9.1" Property="FOUNDSELF" OnlyDetect="no" IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="yes" /> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.0.0" Maximum="4.9.1" Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" OnlyDetect ="no" IncludeMinimum="yes" /> </Upgrade> For FOUNDSELF case above, shouldn't install allow upgrade as OnlyDetect attribute is set to 'no'? This, however, results in an error message during installation that another version has already been installed and this needs to be first uninstalled before proceeding with the install.
