Auto Remove & Install

I have just built a new release of my product and it seems to be automatically doing an inplace upgrade (user is prompted that an Upgrade is taking place).

I don't want to do an upgrade, I want the installer to automatically uninstall the old version and install the new version.

How do I make this happen ?

I have tried changing various guids like Upgrade code but that does not seem to help.

Assuming you're using an MSI project, you'll want to define a "major upgrade"; change the product GUID (ProductCode) and product version, leave the UpgradeCode value alone, and add a major-upgrade item to the Upgrades view. Searching the help for "major upgrade" will give more information...
