plugin msi not removing previous(older) version of plugin

Question

<?define myvar="C:\Documents and Settings\rohit\Desktop\plugin"?>
  <?define search_accel="My search accelerator_5_0_0_0"?>
    <Product Id="*" Name="My Plugin" Language="1033" Version="7.0.0.0" Manufacturer="My Technologies Pvt. Ltd." UpgradeCode="{789344f3-6ced-5a92-aa44-51f3694c207f}">
        <Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" Description="Installer for the MyPlugin plugin" InstallScope="perUser" />

    <Upgrade Id="{789344f3-6ced-5a92-aa44-51f3694c207f}">
        <UpgradeVersion
            Property="OLD_VERSION_FOUND"
            Minimum="0.0.1" IncludeMinimum="yes"
            Maximum="7.0.0.0" IncludeMaximum="yes"
            OnlyDetect="no" IgnoreRemoveFailure="yes"
            MigrateFeatures="yes" />
    </Upgrade>

    <Property Id="MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL" Value="Disable" />
    <InstallExecuteSequence>
        <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize" />
        <InstallExecute After="RemoveExistingProducts" />
    </InstallExecuteSequence>
    <Media Id="1" Cabinet="MyPlugin.cab" EmbedCab="yes" />

This is my .wxs file. Now I'm upgrading to plugin version 7.0. Previous version was 6.2!

But when i try to install new plugin without removing previous one, the new plugin(v7.0) gets installed along with plugin v6.2.

I want the old plugin to get removed.

Is it something to do with GUID or some .wxs file configuration?

Please help.

Thanks!

The above approach works for UPGRADE.

My problem was solved when I changed the GUID to what was expected. It had got changed due to moving my solution to diffrent machine and hence the different Visual-studio.
