There's no UI during uninstall, correct. When the older product is being uninstalled as part of a major upgrade the UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE property is set to indicate that you're being uninstalled because of an incoming major upgrade.
A minor upgrade by reinstalling the MSI or a patch doesn't set the REMOVE property to ALL.

I'm just about ready to go, and while testing today, I notice that one of my custom actions isn't running during the uninstall. I've put it in the UIInstallSequence thus: <InstallUISequence> <Custom Action="MyUninstallAction" Sequence="101">REMOVE="ALL"</Custom> </InstallUISequence> But it doens't seem to run. What I've seen implies that the UI sequence isn't run on an add/remove programs uninstall. Is that really the case? What I really want to do is this: If the user is upgrading the current version with any upgrade (major or minor), I don't want to run the action. If the user is uninstalling this version from Add/remove programs, or via msiexec /uninstall, I'd like to run the action. In any cases I've missed above, I want to run the action (I don't think there are any, but for completeness, I'll specify it to run) Is there any way to achieve this?
