In another area of your code look for the <Product/> element and make sure you change the Id="" guid there as one necessary step. But, leave the UpgradeCode unchanged in that same element. Also make sure you increment your version number to something higher than that one you have already installed.
Then in your UpgradeVersion element that you show below don't forget to add OnlyDetect="no" This is what causes it to not just check for your other version, but also remove it.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Command line installation? I have WiX code like: <Property Id="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" Secure="yes" /> <Upgrade Id='529189FE-FD0E-44ff-8DA6-B4FB5CC7A78B'> <UpgradeVersion Minimum="2.0.0.0" Maximum="2.0.5.0" Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no" /> </Upgrade> . . . . . <InstallExecuteSequence> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize"></RemoveExistingProducts> </InstallExecuteSequence> I am trying to automatically uninstall any previous versions of the package before this installation proceeds. But even with this code when I run the .msi I get a prompt indicating that I must go to the Control Panel and uninstall a previous version. What am I doing wrong?
