Ignore the APPCOMPAT. What does your Upgrade table look like? What are the versions of the old and new MSI?

Subject: [WiX-users] UI upgrade succeeds, but silent upgrade fails Hello, We are testing upgrade from an older version to the version we are about to release. We noticed that upgrading "msiexec.exe /i my.msi" successfully upgrades the old product files with the new ones. However, silently installing with the following command fails: msiexec.exe /i my.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus /qn The log file generated during silent upgrade contains the following messages: APPCOMPAT: looking for appcompat database entry with ProductCode '{15E9E02D-8660-41B3-9373-3E427A392478}'. APPCOMPAT: no matching ProductCode found in database. .. FindRelatedProducts. PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED property. Its value is '{4B43BAEB-553B-4FAD-9219-C55DA3492D89}'. PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding NEWERVERSIONDETECTED property. Its value is '{4B43BAEB-553B-4FAD-9219-C55DA3492D89}'. Doing action: WixExitEarlyWithSuccess FindRelatedProducts. Return value 1. Does this mean that installer is not finding the previous product version and hence doesn't uninstall it? If so, why would UI upgrade work? I also noticed that we didn't have Package Id specified in the WXS file for the old product. However, we did specify the same Product UpgradeCode in the old and new versions. Is this sufficient?
