I tried to detail above, and linked the actual logs - not sure what you're
asking.
> When comparing side by side, the successful upgrade case contains:
```
PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED property. Its value is
'{FC280A6D-DEED-4892-8C86-68467C1647CB}'.
PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding MIGRATE property. Its value is
'{FC280A6D-DEED-4892-8C86-68467C1647CB}'.
```
> Also seen in a successful log is: `Command Line: UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE={
7DBE161A-7943-4288-BD53-35939F3CE32E} CLIENTPROCESSID=6872 CLIENTUILEVEL=3
MSICLIENTUSESEXTERNALUI=1 REMOVE=ALL `
> and associated values of `UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE`
> In the failure log, UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE and WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED don't
seem to be set.
