deepak.deshmukh301.5524930799614893E12 asked a question.
In other words when previous version is already installed in the target machine and when newer version is tried to install up on that then this error is popping up which in turn rollbacks to previous version
plz suggest how to get rid of this error.

You can do the same by looking into your install log and see where it throws this error.
Thanks,

I too faced the same issue and solved by rerun the same version installer. important thing is you have to rerun the exact version of the installer i mean packaging code( GUID may or may not be same)) should be the same.
in my case we have designed our installer to go to maintenance mode if i try to install my product on a host where same version(same package code but GUID may or may not be same) product is already installed. I Install the product once again by choosing modify option. once installation is completed I will have choice to uninstall the product from add/remove programs or by using GUID.
if your are not designed your installer to go to maintenance mode, then simply install the same version product (same package code but GUID may or may not be same). on a host where your seeing the issue and then uninstall.
1. when you are ended up in this situation mostly you dont see installed files some times add/remove programs entries too, so find out what version you have installed by looking at stale entries from registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\your product name
if your product is 32 bit and installed on 64 bit machine check here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\your product name
you can get more detials HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
hope your issue will be resolved.

Can someone help me resolve this?

It turns out it's the name of the release that triggers the problem. Because under Releases, I changed the Project Name to reflect the new build, the 1316 error is triggered. Apparently, the GUIDS for the Product Code and Upgrade Code aren't the only items the matter. The name of the product can't be changed either. Wish I knew this when I posted this a few years ago. Ugh!
