Are you mixing up minor and major upgrades ? Major upgrades use the upgrade table and replace the old product with the new one. You don't specify REINSTALL or REINSTALLMODE on the command line. The upgrade code should be the same and the product code and version different. Minor upgrades repair and update the existing installation using a new version of the MSI. You do use REINSTALL and REINSTALLMODE but the upgrade table is not used. The upgrade code should be the same and the product code too: only the version differs. The MajorUpgrade element is just a convenient shorthand for using the upgrade table. You can leave it commented out for now.

PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED property. Its value is '{4B43BAEB-553B-4FAD-9219-C55DA3492D89}'. Skipping action: WixExitEarlyWithSuccess (condition is false) Doing action: AppSearch FindRelatedProducts. Return value 1. AppSearch. ... Windows Installer installed the product. ... Product Version: 19.0.1. Product Language: 1033. .. Installation success or error status: 0. It looks like upgrade should have succeeded, but in reality 18.3 is there and 19.0.1 is not. I noticed that we have <MajorUpgrade> element commented out (see above). Should it be uncommented? (Sorry I don't work with WIX a whole lot).
