This probably has to do with the fact that I have the element <MajorUpgrade> in
the .wxs but I notice that in the registry the UninstallString is the same as
the InstallString something like "msiexec -I{ABCDE....}". The software doesn't
actually get uninstalled with this string I have to use (and the Add/Remove
Program uses) "msiexec -X{ABCDE....}" to uninstall the product. Is there a way
to make the uninstall string something that will really uninstall the product?

Subject: [WiX-users] Detecting uninstall or minor upgrade
How do I detect uninstall or minor upgrade or first time install. I looked at
the values in the table in the following article
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/320921/how-to-add-a-wix-custom-action-that-happens-only-on-uninstall-via-msi
and I don't think they are correct! Are they? Why do I need >(NOT
UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE="ALL") to detect the uninstall if accoriding
to the table NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE should be enough?
How do I easily check those values when the installer runs.
