Too many assumptions, not enough facts. The authoring would be a start, along with the underlying facts of what is changing in the upgrade. (From v1 to v2 of the bundle, is the exe package in question changing?)

Yeah, use a DetectCondition that is unique per version. Otherwise it isn't really a DetectCondition for (only) that ExePackage.

I now understand my problem. The DetectConditions are the same in both v1 and v2. Does this mean that an upgrade Bundle cannot re-release (non-unique) an ExePackage as part of the upgrade Bundle? Therefore, the DetectConditions must be unique between releases? This appears to be true.
I must be able to re-release a required 3rd party installer as part of an upgraded Bundle. Is there a way to tell the engine to uninstall v1 prior to installing v2?
