Hi Phil,
thank you for the KB link. But this situation does not apply to our case (no
GAC or SxS involved).
From the verbose log, I see that already in CostFinalize, the installer decides
not to install the component:
MSI (s) (BC:C8) [10:46:51:830]: Disallowing installation of component:
{5572161F-6A73-4552-91C7-8108C28DF8CE} since the same component with higher
versioned keyfile exists.
RemoveRelatedProduct does however happily remove the component.
Looks like an Installer limitation.

inMajorUpgrade?
After InstallValidate should definitely work for a major upgrade. If that 2.4
version is not installed then you may have that MSI bug, especially if the file
is in the GAC or SxS
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905238 and see if a repair restores the file.
Anyway, take a verbose log and search for the file name and its component id.
There are more routine possible issues, such as the component id being
inadvertently shared with something, and hopefully the Dll is marked as key
path.
