Instead of using the old Upgrade authoring, use the MajorUpgrade authoring and take a look at the AllowSameVersionUpgrades attribute. Note that this is a really bad idea(tm) in the field.

I've tried various combinations of <Upgrade>, here is my current: <Upgrade Id="INSERT_GUID_HERE"> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes" Property="SELFFOUND" Minimum="1.0.0" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="1.0.0" IncludeMaximum="yes" /> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes" Property="NEWERFOUND" Minimum="1.0.1" IncludeMinimum="no" /> </Upgrade> and in InstallExecuteSequence I have: <RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize" /> I think the 'right' thing to do is to require uninstall and then reinstall 'manually', but my requirement is to allow user to go through installer forms - using custom managed BA - and change values, including 'INSTALLLOCATION'. I've been able to handle a 'Modify' operation correctly in the BA, showing all required screen with values from previous install filled. Is there some way to force MSI to uninstall itself then install again? I suppose I could, from the BA, run the msi with /uninstall options then run it again with /install options but is this the best way to do something like that? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Time is money.
