Hi everyone,
I've got a long-running application we just upgraded to .NET 4.5 and WiX. It's
had the same UpgradeCode for ages, so I included it in my Product-file for WiX.
It installed side-by-side with the existing application. Reading up some, it
seemed like I had to add a directive to remove existing products. Good, I'd
like to do that before the installer does anything else. Just remove everything
that was and put in this new installer. That's how we do it everytime. Adding
the directive, I thought along with the UpgradeCode, I'm good to go ... but, it
does not remove, and I still get two items for this application in Add/Remove
Programs. This is my XML, and what I'm trying to do is simply remove all
previous versions (that have the UpgradeCode) and then put on this version
4.3.0 (previous version was 4.2.0 and a Visual Studio Installer Project):

Any sharp eyes seeing what I'm doing wrong? Relating back to Visual Studio
Installers, I just checked "remove existing versions" (and detect newer
versions) or what it was called again, and it's the same behavior I'm looking
for here.
Best Regards,
Tom
