So you want to prevent repair, uninstall and upgrades? Ugh. If the Product ID isn't changing, Windows Installer should bail automatically with "Another version of this product is already installed" from memory, if you're using an automatically generated Product ID you can use the fact that Windows Installer ignores fourth version field to detect when none of the first three have changed. See my post from last week for more info.
