I don't immediate see what is wrong but there are a couple things: 1. RemoveExistingProducts usually does not have a conditon on it, unless you are doing something really complicated. I expect in the upgrade case the property is set so things should be working but that is something I would not add. Although, honestly, I use MajorUpgrade element all the time now since it is "prettier".
2. Your MSI installs to ProgramFilesFolder but it appears to be per-user. I highly recommend making your MSI per-machine (set Package/@InstallScope in v3.6). However, you cannot upgrade across install scope (unfortunately) so when you do that you'll have to block and have users remove the per-user install themselves. If you've mixed scopes already that would explain the upgrade problem, BTW. <smile/> After that, a full verbose log file would be necessary to really debug quickly.
