Re: [WiX-users] uninstalling a product silently before inst
Thanks for the xml code, I have followed this and it is working in one
scenerio. But tell me, should this work if product1 was installed using
"just me" and the product2 is being installed using "Everyone"? Cuz i am
testing this and this the case in which my product1 is not getting
uninstalled.

In theory (and in my projects), simply copy what you already have and
replace 'product2guid' (which I hope is a uuid), with the UpgradeCode of the
product you want uninstalled. In the new entry remove the UpgradeVersion
that uses the NEWERPRODUCTFOUND property and replace
PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED
Hi, can you provide me the tags necessary to do this?
Right now my Upgrade tags look like this:

In theory it's that simple, but in practice there are many possible pain points
in a major upgrade. It mostly depends on where you sequence
RemoveExistingProducts and whether the upstream build process properly
versioned all of the files that the install is consuming. Garbage into the

It is much simpler then what you are proposing. Simply add the UpgadeCode
of the old product to the Upgrade table of your new product. The old one
will be uninstalled in the same manner as a previous version...silently
during the RemoveExistingProducts action.
