1. UpgradeCodes and ProductCodes are in the registry, but that's an
implementation detail. They are not there in a form that a search for
them will find them.

2. UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is what you set in the OLDER product that is
being upgraded. It is not for your new upgrade. If you want to detect
that you are upgrading an older product and you used the majorupgrade
tag, then use the WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED property as documented here:

http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/majorupgrade.html

3. Just use the majorupgrade element and the schedule tag is how you
say where you want REP to run.
