Not really. I also agree with the notion that Per-User installs are evil.
It's just such a royal pain to manage ( See Windows Installer Tao Rule #30 ).
When I used to do SMS pushes in an enterprise environment, I'd never consider a
per-user advertisement. All of my packages were hardwired Per-Machine
installation and require Priviliged with no option to override.

Nope... As far as I know, NOTHING will work in that scenario. AFAIK, there's
no way to handle this properly - you pretty much want to require that users
either only can install as Everyone, or only can install as Just Me.
Personally, I think "Just Me" is silly and can't come up with any good reason
for this installer choice.

Re: [WiX-users] uninstalling a product silently before installing a
new one
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 with something
like OTHERPRODUCTFOUND or whatever makes sense for you. Make sure that
OnlyDetect is No.
I don't think you need the Property tags you have. They will be created on
demand and will be set to the ProductCode of the detected products.
Your updated Upgrade elements may look similar to this (adjust as necessary):
<Upgrade Id="product2guid">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.57" Property="NEWERPRODUCTFOUND"
OnlyDetect="yes" IncludeMinimum="yes" />
<UpgradeVersion Minimum=" 1.0.0.0" Maximum="1.0.57"
Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" IncludeMinimum="yes" />
</Upgrade>
<Upgrade Id="otherproductguid">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.0.0" Maximum="1.0.57"
Property="OTHERPRODUCTFOUND" IncludeMinimum="yes" />
</Upgrade>
Finally, take heed of Christopher's comments as there are some subtleties about
individual file versions as well as where you have scheduled
RemoveExistingProducts.
Also, you may want to read the tutorial for more details on upgrades:
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php .
Good luck.

Hi, can you provide me the tags necessary to do this?
Right now my Upgrade tags look like this:
<Upgrade Id="product2guid">
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.57" Property="NEWERPRODUCTFOUND"
OnlyDetect="yes" IncludeMinimum="yes" />
<Property Id="NEWERPRODUCTFOUND" Secure="yes" />
<UpgradeVersion Minimum="1.0.0.0" Maximum="1.0.57"
Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" IncludeMinimum="yes" />
<Property Id="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" Secure="yes" />
</Upgrade>

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.
