Unable to install newer MSI, another version of this product is installed

Hello,

So when I try to install a newer version of the MSI I get the following error.
Error Message
Error Message

I triple checked the following setting. The old version of the application should be stopped and removed as part of the install.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Unable to install newer MSI, another version of this product is installed

Hi,

This problem may appear if the Product Code of the two versions of your product is identical or if their version number is the same.

You can read more about this problem on the "Why do I receive the "Another version of this product is already installed" message" FAQ.

Thanks for this, it was the product code.

Renaming the MSI also generates a new code.
