Hello All After playing two more days I made no progress. I tried all the advises I got, including rewriting the wxs file following the example in Neil Sleightholm's blog.
I got the same two results: Major upgrade: (Using '*') every thing works but I got two entries in the Add Remove Programs. One for the original installation and one for the Upgrade. Minor Upgrade. (using the original component and product key). I have only one Entry in the Add Remove Program but when I Uninstall this entry only the components that are part of the upgrade are removed. I tried every combination of Keys automatic GUID and msiexec command line argument (including running directly the Upgrade.msi). The application should be upgrade frequently, so we can't have an entry for each upgrade.
