ZAV installing MSI problem

Hi,
I have build several MSI and EXE's. When i install the first msi there is no problem. From the second on i receive the message: "Unable to install because a newer version of this product is already installed."
What do i wrong and how to resolve this problem. The exe's are working fine.
thanks

Make sure your Snow Leopard drive is partitioned as GUID for guide 1.
I named the partition Snow for guide 1.
You need an install of Leopard for guide 1, with the latest chameleon installed as the boot loader.
Guide 1:
First, insert the Snow Leopard DVD and go to /Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/ and Open OSInstall.mpkg. When it's finished installing, open OSX86Tools and select Install Kexts.
Install fakesmc.kext from Netkas with OSX86Tools. Now reboot and select Snow in chameleon and boot with cpus=1 -v. It takes a little while to boot, but if it takes more than 10 minutes, it failed.
Onboard ALC888 needed AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler.kext for 64 bit. Both are attached to this post.
I have an nVidia GeForce 9500 GT 1gb with qe/cl enabled in Snow Leopard, but not in Leopard.
I used an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 in the guides.
I attached a picture of my Snow Leopard install. If you have any trouble, just post a comment.
UPDATE: 10.6.1 recently came out. You can use Software update to install, then just reboot, and you are running 10.6.1.
UPDATE 2: 10.6.2 is out. Follow these instructions:
First, download the 10.6.2 update from Apple, then launch Kext Helper b7 and drag fakesmc.kext into Kext Helper. Then, upgrade using the downloaded DMG, but before rebooting, click Easy Install in Kext Helper. When it gives the succession window, go back to Installer and click reboot. Now you're running 10.6.2!
EDIT: tadbattery has told me how he updated to 10.6.2. It is a simpler way, which doen't require messing with kexts:
First, backup your kernel in 10.6.1 with OSX86Tools, update using the downloaded delta update, then reboot into a second install (maybe Leopard or Snow Leopard) and use OSX86Tools to restore the kernel to the new 10.6.2 system. Then, reboot into the 10.6.2 installation.
Guide 2:
Just download Psystars free RebelEFI boot disk. It installs Snow Leopard, but gives an error "Unable to make computer start up from Hard Drive". Just ignore the message, reboot and boot from RebelEFI CD and select Hard Drive. Once you get to the Desktop, you need to install the latest Chameleon, or buy RebelEFI. I modified my com.apple.boot.plist to get QE supported.
UPDATE: I have changed a couple of steps, so it doesn't seem so confusing or need second partitions. There is also a fix for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext without removing it; Just use fakesmc.kext from Netkas.
EDIT: For those who need them, but can't find AppleHDA.kext and SleepEnabler.kext for Snow Leopard X64, I have attached them to this post.
UPDATE: I recently found out that the kexts from TechnoJunkie are not required. Just use fakesmc, as said in the guide. If you did install them, don't remove them, you will get a kernel panic.
UPDATE: There is a better kext than VoodooHDA, which fixes crackling sound after waking from sleep, and microphone. I have replaced it in the attached file.
UPDATE: I will no longer be updating this guide, as I now have a Dell Studio laptop, and have given my MSI to a friend.
What the... ?
