I've got a VS.NET 2003 setup project which is correctly setup to remove any existing version before installing the current on. (DetectNewerVersionInstalled=true, RemovePreviousVersions=true and I've changed (incremented) the Version which has changed the ProductCode and PackageCode but left the UpgradeCode as is). All good stuff!
However, the installer has a few custom actions and these may be causing problems?! What I get is the new version installed but two entries in the Add/Remove programs list.
Here is a segment of trace from an later version install (i.e. it should be uninstalling the previous version!):

Here's a sample from a test setup project that works as I'd expect so I can see that my proper one above just didn't run - presumably 'cause it had a return value of 1!

From the 1st log data, can anyone help me diagnose this further?

Note 2262 seems to indicate that the Error table is missing from your msi file. If you add a valid error table hopefully we will get some more meaningful error messages.
A return value of 1 indicates success, probably because you have set the msidbUpgradeAttributesIgnoreRemoveFailure (0x004) flag in the Attributes column of your Upgrade table.
