What is the syntactic sugar? I thought I was following
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php#4.2
So the question is why doesn't this work (what am I missing)? And, is there a
better way?
For reference here is the WiX code that I am using:
<Property Id="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" Secure="yes" />
<Upgrade Id='529189FE-FD0E-44ff-8DA6-B4FB5CC7A78B'>
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.0.0" Maximum="3.0.0.0" OnlyDetect='no'
Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no" />
</Upgrade>
. . . . .
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize"></RemoveExistingProducts>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

In WiX v3.5, MajorUpgrade element provides nice "syntactic sugar".
Otherwise, you want to look at the Upgrade element.
