[wix-users] BurnBootStrapper is not detecting already installed chain item

[Srinivas]

I have an upgrade code in A.msi which is a chain element in my Bundle, that
is the reason when i upgrade only A.msi indenpendently, it is upgrading.
The followinng is the code which i have in A.msi for upgrading which is
working perfect when i upgrade individually.

<Upgrade Id="{B650C594-186C-4001-8424-9769671E569C}">
      <UpgradeVersion Property="OLD_VERSION_FOUND"
       Minimum="0.0.0.0"
       Maximum="6.0.9"
       IncludeMinimum="yes"
       IncludeMaximum="no"
       OnlyDetect="no"
       IgnoreRemoveFailure="yes"
       MigrateFeatures="yes"
       Language="1033" />

<UpgradeVersion Property="NEWER_VERSION_FOUND"
      Minimum="6.0.9"
      IncludeMinimum="yes"
      OnlyDetect="yes"
      Language="1033" />
  <UpgradeVersion Minimum='6.0.9'
                  IncludeMinimum='yes'
                  Maximum='99.0.0.0'
                  IncludeMaximum='no'
                  Property='UPGRADEFOUND' />
</Upgrade>

I also have an upgrade code in the bundle
 <Bundle Name="ControlCenter" Version="6.1.9" Manufacturer="Convergys"
UpgradeCode="{9F4B5256-54D4-40EF-B1E9-6A186F5A6548}" DisableRemove="no"
IconSourceFile="$(var.resources)/icon.ico" DisableModify="no">
Bundle is also getting upgraded independently. there is no problem with
this.

But the problem is with the mixed approach.
When you install A.msi(1.0) without using Burn, then Bundle A.msi (1.1)
using Burn. When we install the bundle which has 1.1 in it. Ideally it
should upgrade A.msi to 1.1, but it is not detecting the software 1.0 which
is already installed and hence it is creating a duplicate entry in
controlpanel

Both the below software entries are available in ControlPanel
Software A  1.0
Software A 1.1

Please suggest me on this.
