If I can throw one more answer in the hat, I was able to make an upgrade path that does not require setting/updating a specific Upgrade Code, Min or Max Version based on the generic ISPreventDowngrade upgrade path. According to the cautionary note in the Max Version description, You must specify a value for at least one of the version settings: Min Version, Max Version, or both. So I set the Max version to a generic placeholder. This done, I am not required to set a Max Version. So my configuration is as follows:

• Upgrade Code: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} (generic placeholder that will be replaced with current installer's upgrade code)
• Min Version: blank
• Include Min Version: No
• Max Version: ***ALL_VERSIONS*** (version placeholder)
• Include Max Version: Yes

All other fields I left unchanged. See http://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/installshield23helplib/helplibrary/PreventingDowngrades.htm for more information, but beware the typos. Both the placeholders above are mistyped; I obtained them from the data used in the ISPreventDowngrade upgrade path.
