[wix-users] Major Upgrade after Minor Upgrade

[Roni Fuchs]

Hi everyone,

The problem:
Major Upgrading to 1.6 version from 1.5 (that was minor upgraded from 1.4) failes.

What did I do:
Installed Version 1.4 - released with productId A1 and no upgradeCode.
Upgraded to Version 1.5 - released with productId A1 and UpgradeCode B.  [Minor Upgrade]
Upgraded to Version 1.6 -  released with productId A2 and UpgradeCode B. [Major Upgrade] - FAILS!!

What does work:
upgrading to 1.6 from a "clean" 1.5 work great. Upgrade is detected and everything works fine.

Differences:

-          In the registry, before upgrading to 1.6, I still se 1.4 residues (like the cached installer).

-          In the installation log, I see that upgrade is not detected.

o   Log:
