This is with the standard BA. With an MSI you can get the same behaviour but it is easy to override and by default it would warn you that an existing product was installed. I find this a real pain when testing as usually I would link the version to the version of the primary MSI and this doesn't change. I'll raise this as a bug but I guess you won't want to fix it until 3.7.
I also have a custom BA based on StdBA could you give me a hint where the detection happens?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Multiple entries in ARP It's up to the BA. Presumably the UpgradeCode is the same (since you just rebuilt) so the BA is notified that a "related bundle" with the exact same version is on the machine. The BA can decide that is fine and let the new bundle install SxS. You can get the same behavior with Windows installer packages by changing the ProductCode and having the Upgrade table not detect same version.
