installer created by installshield returned error code 1638 - Another version of this

I'm experiencing annoying error message "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or
remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel" when I launch msi file with version number 2.7.1 after 2.7.0 was already installed on the machine. I'm expecting it provide me option of upgrade rather than "another version installed".

However I don't have any problem when upgrading from version 2.6 to 2.7. Only the third field of version number doesn't work.
