Can you please tell how you got the that debugging result?

When you do an upgrade, burn will install your new bundle (running detect, plan, execute, etc.) and then by default, uninstall your old bundle (running detect, plan, execute, etc.). That might be something you need to pay attention.

Yes, that makes sense.  But my question is why is detectRelatedMsiPackage event firing with the same package ID and different product codes?  It seems like it is either a Wix bug or a bug in the way my packages are authored.

Thanks,
Brian
