Upgrade Path. What am I doing wrong?

I'm totally stuck and completely frustrated. I am working on a project for a Vista install and I am new to InstallShield 2008.

I just can't get the upgrade paths to work.

This is what I have.

Install #1
Product code 00EB....
Upgrade code: 9902...
Version 7.01.0000

I build this and run it and it installs fine

Install #2
Product code E0D...
Upgrade Code: 9902 (same as in #1)
Version 7.01.0002

In this install I added an UpgradePath that is configured as:
Upgrade code: 9902... (same as others)
Min version: 7.01.0000
Max version 7.01.0002

I build this and run it and it doesn't replace the .EXE file. When I start my product I'm running the same EXE as install #1 put on the disk. In the Control Panel I wind up with 2 entries for my software.

What is going on !! Does anyone know how to get this to work?

Just as a quick sanity check: Is the Include Min Version field for the upgrade path set to Yes? That's the default value. In your scenario, it sounds like that's the value you'd need.
