This is what I do (although I might be missing something since it's been a
while since I had my head into this). This doesn't force users to manually
uninstall, but rather it automatically uninstalls the previous version. So
it may not be what you want.
1. Increment the installer version number.
You might try either using the LaunchConditions table to block the
install, or use the Upgrage table and UpgradeCode to uninstall the
product at the beginning of the install.
These are MSI table, but have corresponding Wix elements. As always,
the Wix Reference and the downloaded Windows Installe
Search for "Major Upgrade".
