That's the only way? Isn't there a way to force the user to uninstall one bundle before installing a new one?
The reason I'm resistant to a custom BA is that I don't know how to approach programming a BA correctly. I know perl, python, bash, some C (from a unix world). I have made ant scripts to run wix commands, and I have learned wix to make an msi and a basic bundle, but the bundle will never pass QA as it is. Are there no other options?
