You can't use the Upgrade mechanism at all here - it's not that the previous install was elevated, it's that the FindRelatedProducts action running in one context won't detect a product installed in the other. A per machine won't upgrade a per-user either.

Note that my previous MSI was a per-machine installation made with VS 2008. The product version was 1.0.0. Now I'm creating a per-user installation with WIX 3.5. I want to detect this older version. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the older version cannot be removed since it was an elevated installation. Hence, I want to at least notify the user about the older version. I can't get it working! I read this: http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/Upgrade * I changed the product version to 1.0.1.0. * I changed the product code. * The package code is set to '*'. * The upgrade code is the same. Below is the relevant part of my script. I don't understand how OLDAPPFOUND is used. Please help! <Upgrade Id="$(var.ThisUpgradeCode)"> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.0.0" IncludeMinimum="yes" Maximum="$(var.ThisProductVersion)" IncludeMaximum="no" OnlyDetect="yes" Language="1033" Property="OLDAPPFOUND" /> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="$(var.ThisProductVersion)" IncludeMinimum="no" OnlyDetect="yes" Language="1033" Property="NEWAPPFOUND" /> </Upgrade> <UI> <Error Id="2000">!(loc.LaunchCondition_LaterVersion)</Error> </UI> <CustomAction Id="NewerVersionDetected" Error="2000"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="NewerVersionDetected" After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWAPPFOUND</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> _________________________________________________________________ Mejla i busskön!
