Major upgrades use the upgrade table and replace the old product with the new
one. You don't specify REINSTALL or REINSTALLMODE on the command line
, but in reality 18.3 is
there and 19.0.1 is not.
I noticed that we have MajorUpgrade element commented out (see
above). Should it be uncommented? (Sorry I don't work with WIX a whole
