In what way was it messy when removing ? Windows Installer should normally be able to handle that.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to prevent the same MSI file to be executed more than once at the same time? How would I go about to stop even the initial phase from being executed at the same time? To explain, in our case different features were selected in two incarnations of the same installer and both were installed and the result was very messy when trying to uninstall. We would certainly like to prevent users from doing this even if everybody agrees that it was done by accident and not intentionally.
