Dear babu,
Even i would support VBScab on this. Its more of reading that you need to do on this. Infact we are helping you out with this. If you lay your hands on msi.chm file, its the best. I can provide you the help file if you need it.
Ok, now let me give you a hint... make sure the RemoveExistingProducts standard action is after InstallValidate... rest is your research!!
I am not hungry for points by telling you the steps, but would really like you to understand the ways behind it... however, if urgency creeps up, then do let me know... i can understand what critical delivery can mean ;-)

Tushar

Dear Babu,
I simple rough theory to upgrade would be the following
-add the product code of the previous MSI in the Upgrade Tab.
-Make sure RemoveExistingProduct is in between InstallValidate and InstallInitialize.
Like VBScab and Tushar mentioned, google is there to help if you know ho to find them..
thanks

Hello,
Apologies for that statement of mine that the chm is ultimate. Had it been the file that was more helpful, i (and all of us) would never have landed up here... Very true AngelD and now i realize the mistake in using that statement.
However, the kind of problem being addressed here, is a basic one and a little research will surely help. I was just assisting and the intention was quite simple. Keeping the current context of the topic, the mentioned file will be of great help.
regards,
tushar
