I'm not sure what exactly I was doing wrong, but eventually got it working after running msizap on the affected products and starting again.
It also didn't help that I had the logic slightly wrong on one of my UpgradeVersion entries, not including the minimum on the comparison. As a result that one couldn't be found. On a related issue, RemoveExistingProducts is a little confusing to me. When removing, is it correct that only the InstallExecuteSequence runs, and that no UI is shown? Finally, you point out some potential problems mixing Per User and Per Machine installs. As find related products won't find a product installed "cross context", is there any way to prevent/detect that this is what the user is requesting?
