I just sat through a meeting at my employer for the last 3 months (a
significantly large software company) who told me the CPL license WIX is
released under was too restrictive to allow me to use it as a development
tool. Of course I just spent the last 2 months porting a horrific

Does any know why the RemoveExistingProducts action would fail when an
upgrade is run silently?
