Hi Ollie,
RemoveExistingProducts does not work because it is supposed to work during
Major Upgrade (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369786(VS.85).aspx).
Major upgrades *requires* changes in:
- ProductCode (Product/@Id)
- PackageCode (Package/@Id)
- Product Version (Product/Version)

Subject: [WiX-users] How do I force a uninstall...
I have read the documentation about using 'RemoveExistingProducts' and I can't
get the functionality I require - I'm receiving the following message in the
log file during install
'MSI (s) (24:D8) [11:39:42:658]: Skipping RemoveExistingProducts action:
current configuration is maintenance mode or an uninstall'
Obviously I'm try to uninstall before installing a new version - this new
version only has changes is in the contents of the build, the product id's and
version numbers have not changed. I'm trying to avoid having to a manual
uninstall and then install whilst we are developing our product.
is this possible?
