[wix-users] Already Installed Error not showing

[Ven H]

Thanks for your response Habib. But as of now, I am using a fixed Product
ID and Version, since I am not trying upgrade yet. When I re-run the
installer, I am looking for an error message (another version is already
installed or something) which normally shows up when the dialogs are not
customized.

Regards,
Venkatesh
