....but I wouldn't encourage this solution until the actual problem has been found. The common issues with failing upgrades that result in two Programs/Features entries seem to be:
1. A per-user install won't upgrade a per-system install, and vice versa. 2. Forgetting something like a majorupgrade element or RemoveExistingProducts action. 3. A failing RemoveExistingProducts sequenced after InstallFinalize that rolls back and leaves both old and new entries on the system. As always, a verbose log is the diagnostic.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix and backward compatibility with Visual Studio setup project. I had this or a similar problem with InstallShield. The previous version was upgraded but the entry wasn't deleted. So I created a cleanup Component to delete the old registry key. Just check if the previous version was correctly uninstalled during upgrade. Here is my code: <ComponentGroup Id="CompGrp_CleanUpUpgradedRegistryComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER"> <Component Id="Comp_RegistryKey_Cleanup" KeyPath="yes"> <Condition>WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED</Condition> <RemoveRegistryKey Id="RemRegKey_OldInstall" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\Uninstall\Install Shield_{guid}" Action="removeOnInstall" /> </Component></ComponentGroup> BR, Marlos 2013/8/14 Андрій Цьок <andrey.t...@gmail.com> > <MajorUpgrade AllowDowngrades="no" AllowSameVersionUpgrades="no" > Schedule="afterInstallInitialize" DowngradeErrorMessage="A later > version of [ProductName] is already installed.
