How Uninstall then Install Without Stopping

The InstallShield 2020 Premier Suite/Advanced UI project that I inherited works as follows:  if a prior version of the product exists, it displays a window with Modify, Repair, Remove buttons.  If you click Remove, it uninstalls the product, then displays a Wizard page informing the user that the product was uninstalled.   The user has one option, to click a button labeled "Finish;" then the application ends.  To continue with the installation, the user must double-click setup again. Is there a way to have it just continue with the installation if the user clicks a button on this final window?  Or to just silently continue after removal and begin installation?

I'd like to know if this is possible as well. At this point I've only had time to speculate, but I wondered if one could create a Setup Prerequisite that would check for the existence of the prior version of the product, and run the uninstall command-line.
