Install shield does not pop up these dialogs, Windows Installer actually detects that the current package is already installed and runs the cached version.
You should be able to add this functionality to your project by using the 'Installed' property.

Certain Dialogs will be shown according to differnt properties.
You will need to look at the UserInterface sequence table, and also read the help provided from Microsoft.

I am using Install shied Developer 8.0.
I have a case where in I have created shortcuts and have written custom registry key <hklm/software/myapp/version>,when user had a option of
just browsing from cd.
I had a event like "remove" with feature name as the argument "myfeature" and condition browsemode(my property) ="CD" in install now button of customsetup dialog.
the installer creates the shortcut and writes my custom keyes to registry.
but when setup.exe is clicked, the installer now needs to check against
my custom registry key and show maintainence dialog
Or is there a way where in i can force the installer write the registry keyes
that it normally does when the application is installed to local drive, so that
installer within itself can handle the maintainence dialog.
