You need to change ProductCode *and* ProductVersion for a major upgrade to work as you expect. When you change ProductVersion and leave ProductCode the same you have a minor upgrade which requires a different style of install (I'm not expert on installing minor upgrades). The reason it was suggested to set Product/@Id = "*" is so that WiX will automatically create a new guid on every build guaranteeing a major upgrade if and only if you also change ProductVersion on every build.
