I have an archive of the previous versions, yes...

And now I understand why ProductCode and UpgradeCode have been confusing me.

In IA, the UpgradeCode is known as the "Revision Code" and the tooltip
helpfully explains that "The IDE automatically changes the revision
code each time you do a new build".

I have at least three different installers out in the wild that I had
assumed shared the same UpgradeCode. Of course IA's phrasing confused
me when I first started with WiX, because something was clearly amiss.

There are days when it pays off to not get out of bed at all. The day
when I decided "IA is the installer for me" was clearly one of those
days. Can anyone please lend me a time machine?

Thanks Christopher for pointing me in the right direction. I will have
to dabble with this over the weekend and see if I can come up with
something not too clever.
