Can I make a bundle that always uninstalls the previous msi before
installing the new one?
I have a bundle that installed an msi.
The bundle Version= 2013.07.01.0,
the msi Version = 3.0.1
the program build 3699.
There was a problem with build 3699 so I must release build 3698, in a

If heat generates a file with unique identifiers for each element, is it
true that the Id of a particular element can't be referenced elsewhere,
as there is no way to determine the correct name?
I am facing this situation by trying to create a file association, where
my exe has an Id that changes

My bundle needs to perform a conditional install if a 3rd party program
if the version installed is none or less than a particular version.
The problem is the 3rd party program stores the installed version number
in a dynamic guid section of HKLM, so I don't have a deterministic path

I am trying to create a bundle to install an msi that does not support

For the longest time I have had a wix msi and bundle that I could
upgrade or downgrade without having to uninstall first, before
installing the version I want to test.
Now it seems if a previous install exists, the bundle (or msi) will
remove the files from the previous install, and mark the progr
planning sections of the logs would be the first place to look.

I am going thought the process of making msi's for new versions of my
software.
I would like to force the user to uninstall before installing the new
version, so I would like some install dialog to stop them there.
Where can I find some info on doing this?

My application uses an xml data file, but it seems wrong to use ProgId
to associate all xml files with my app.
Is there some method to use the header in the xml to associate my some
xml files with may app?
