Setup project - two entries in Add/Remove Prog issue

I create a setup project and install version 1.0.0. I want my next release
to uninstall 1.0.0 and then install 1.0.1 in its place?

How do I do this?

I set RemovePreviousVersion to true.
I set Version to 1.0.1. Which prompts me to change ProductCode, which I do.

I leave UpgradeCode the same.

The result is I end up with two entries in Add/Remove programs. One for
1.0.0 and one for 1.0.1. The files themselves are updated only if Assembly
specific version fields have changed.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

I should point out that my actual setup version numbers are

current = 0.8.109
update = 0.8.110

As things seems actually work as expected with 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.
