That's called a major upgrade. You need to change the product id for your newer
installer as well as the version.

Hi,
The message you get is when you do a minor upgrade (ProductCode is the same,
just version changes). In this case (minor upgrades), you have to launch your

If you want to completely remove your pro
xistingProducts after InstallFinalize.
Immediately after InstallInitialize is better if you expect a major upgrade to
behave like an uninstall of the old product followed by an install of the new.

For the new version to uninstall the previous, an Upgrade tag is needed with an
