Hmm, I think you are missing a minimum on OlderVerionBeingUpgraded

As far as App Compat, I was talking in the logs.
In you logs, it looks as if your ProductCode hasn't changed between the two?
(The product code should only be the same if you are doing a minor update.)

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>
How do we ignore APPCOMPAT? Do you need any other info?
Thanks,
Alec
