The thing to look for in the log of of the upgrade is the FindRelatedProducts data. It will tell you if it found anything, even if it's the wrong context (per user etc) to do the upgrade.

And I replaced it with the <MajorUpdate ...> while defining PlatformProductName. Unfortunately there is no change in behavior. I still get the same error in the log, the old product isn't removed. I further investigated the log for an install without the old version of the product. I get the same error for RemoveExistingProduct in the log. That's strange. Do you have a minimal but complete example with this kind of upgrade-definition? I hope I could use it as a template for my product source.
