Since you are already using a batch file, what I would probably do before
running your newer app is this:
        msiexec /x {productcode}

get the {productcode} from your V1 of the Setup.msi file.

You asked about having an install not know about the fact it is installed.
Long story short, that is not supported under Windows Installer.

I hope that helps and I apologize for the delay.
