I'm kind of suprised with Rob's answer. Can you write an install in WiX that does a minor upgrade of an installer written in IS? Perhaps. It'd have to be very careful coding to keep all the primary keys and components the same and get the media built the same way. I suppose it's

The log you sent did not show this command line (with the quotes) as the command that executed. If you did in fact change your MSI to remote the extra quotes and you can see in the log that they are no longer there and it still didn't work then you have an interesting issue to resolve. In that
