We are trying to upgrade from 18.3 to 19.0.1. Here is the upgrade code: <Upgrade Id="E8805AF3-CF50-4092-BE57-220A8C51E2AA"> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="no" Minimum="18.0.1" IncludeMinimum="no" Property="NEWERVERSIONDETECTED"/> <UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect="no" Maximum="19.0.1" IncludeMaximum="no" Property="OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED"/> </Upgrade>
