dotnet setup: Does an upgrade mean changing the version number of the setup project as well as the version number of the assembly?

I have been having a problem implementing auto updater component. Suppose I am trying to install a new version( assembly version and the product code has been changed)
on a client machine which has older version installed then
the installation of the new version happens. However, in the Add/Remove Programs there are 2 entries( one for the old one and another for the new one).
Can someone please help why it is happening like this?

Are you using the RemoveExistingProducts Action in your installation?
Also, for a major upgrade, you will need to change the Version Number in
the MSI as well as the Product Code and Package Code.
