error - a module is not authorized to depend on itself

[Scott Goldstein]

I'm running into the following error:
 
"a module is not authorized to depend on itself"
 
Here's the user case - Installshield, to build a minor upgrade package, 
requires the previous installer for reference.  Therefore, the current version 
of my product is dependent upon a build artifact from the previous version.  
So, though the module depends on itself, it depends on an older version of 
itself.
 
Is there a workaround that I can use to support this use case?
 
Thanks.
