NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE will be true during any run of the installer when you
are not performing an upgrade. This includes remove, repair (and patch) and
first time installation. Is that what you want ? If you only want to run during
first-time installation then use:
not Installed
(case-sensitive) as the condition.
To solve your problem with the new installation not working, Id generate and
analyse an installation log, if you havent already. It should give you some
idea why it wont install.
Incidentally, all GUIDs used by MSI should be uppercase but this isnt part of
your problem.

Hi John,
Thank you for your help. There is some progess in my Upgrade. It will not
install a new software after I change the OnlyDetect.
I have another question that there is one Custom Action, which should be called
only in the first install. Is it correct if I set it as:
<Custom Action="MyCA" After="InstallFinalize">NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Custom>
Thanks again!
Chunyan

Well check that you have the upgrade code correct, but my guess it would have
something to do with @OnlyDetect=yes being set. From the v2.x documentation:
OnlyDetect | YesNoType | Set to "yes" to detect products and applications but
do not uninstall.
(http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_upgradeversion.htm)
Remember that major upgrades are essentially a *new* product, so you have to
*remove* the old ones. Also note that 4.1 in the tutorial only deals with
*detecting* an earlier product. 4.2 will show you how to remove the old
product.
Hope that helps.
