Aha! MSI (s) (00:64) [09:59:21:043]: File: C:\Program Files\WixWindowsService2012\WixWindowsService2012.exe.config; To be installed; Won't patch; No existing file MSI (s) (00:64) [09:59:21:043]: Source for file 'WixWindowsService2012.exe.config' is compressed
So why is there "No existing file"? Where do you have your RemoveExistingProducts action scheduled? I think what's happening is your REP is removing the file, then when your newer version comes along it finds the file missing so it install its copy. If possible, move RemoveExistingProducts later in the sequence.
