And if they aren't helpful, if you know the ID behind the version you are trying to remove, you could query the ARP data for the uninstall string property "UninstallString" and try to invoke that.
On my machine, I have both MSI and EXE variants. If the one you are trying to replace is a MSI, then it would be simple to do by adding that into your new MSI's Upgrade table. If it's an EXE, it's going to be more "custom" logic. If your last InstallShield exe doesn't contain the entire payload, you may be able to automate it by using that EXE with the command line params to uninstall it. -----Original Message----- From: Phil Wilson [mailto:phildgwil...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2015 12:34 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.
