Is your ProductCode different between packages? I suspect not as you've got it explicitly defined it in your code below & the error you are seeing is commonly caused by this. Try using Product@Id="*" to auto generate your ProductCode every time you build.
Also try updating Package@InstallerVersion="301". You can target Windows Installer 3.1 as far back as Windows 2000.

I don't need to worry about patching/partial upgrades, I just need to remove any and all existing versions. :) The relevant parts of my WXS are pasted below, can anyone offer some pointers? Thanks, J. <Product Id="{84346479-DD80-4af3-9402-094D72213EEA}" Name="Foo App" Language="1033" Version="$(var.ProductVersion)" Manufacturer="Foo Ltd."
