You may need to look at the log more carefully. If the uninstall of the older version failed it will roll back and reinstall, and that will leave you with both products installed. That's the issue with RemoveExistingProducts -after- InstallFinalize where it's outside the transacted part of the install.

However, Windows Installer leaves older versions installed without touching them (Leaves the program files behind and the Uninstall Programs reg entry). I'm using the same upgradecode for all versions and always changing the product and package codes. I've tried to implement this the following way: <Upgrade Id="UPGCODE"> <UpgradeVersion Property="DOWNGRADE" OnlyDetect="yes" Minimum="VERSION" IncludeMinimum="no" /> <UpgradeVersion Property="UPGRADE" OnlyDetect="no" Minimum="VERSION" Maximum="VERSION" IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no" /> </Upgrade> <InstallExecuteSequence> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> >From the logs I can see it runs but I don't know it if attempted to do anything: MSI (c) (74:58) [12:32:12:069]: Doing action: FindRelatedProducts Action 12:32:12: FindRelatedProducts.
