Have you tried using a custom action, instead of a launch condition to
block install?
e.g.
<Upgrade Id="$(var.Property_UpgradeCode)">
<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes"
Minimum="$(var.version)"
Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED"
IncludeMinimum="no" />
<UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="yes"
Maximum="$(var.version)"
Property="OLDERVERSIONDETECTED"
IncludeMaximum="no" />
</Upgrade>
<CustomAction Id="CA_BlockInstall" Error="!(loc.MyError)" />
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="CA_BlockInstall" After="FindRelatedProducts">
<![CDATA[NEWERVERSIONDETECTED Or OLDERVERSIONDETECTED]]>
</Custom>
<LaunchConditions After="AppSearch" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Action="CA_BlockInstall" After="FindRelatedProducts">
<![CDATA[NEWERVERSIONDETECTED Or OLDERVERSIONDETECTED]]>
</Custom>
<LaunchConditions After="AppSearch" />
</InstallUISequence>
