Thanks Phil,

I did have SuppressDowngradeFailure="yes" set it to no and changed the version number to a lower version and when I did click install it came back as an error, which is what I wanted :)

While I do not have much recent experience using the WixStdBA, the log seems to indicate that SuppressDowngradeFailure is set to true, so two entries in the ARP is the intended result.

Maybe this will help.
