Yes, the bundle version and the package version number changes for each
build.

Does anyone know if the bootstrapper _should_ work similarly to an MSI?
That is, does it consider only the upgrade code and the version number (not
the bundle name) when determining if an older version exists that should be
uninstalled?

Did you remember to increment the version of the bundle? Is it the bundle
that is left behind in ARP?

Subject: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper ARP cleanup vs MSI ARP cleanup

I have MSIs for which the Product/@Name value includes the version number
(which changes for every build of the project).  This results in an entry in
Add/Remove Programs (ARP) that includes the product name and the version
number.  The MSI correctly removes the old ARP entry when a major upgrade is
detected and the previous version is uninstalled.  When I chain the MSI into
a custom BA the bootstrapper/MSI combination uninstalls the previous version
but does not remove the old ARP entry.  ARP shows the old version and the
new version.  Both the bootstrapper and the MSI maintain the same value for
Product/@UpgradeCode from one version to the next.  Any ideas as to why the
old ARP entry is not removed by the bootstrapper?
