How to invoke uninstall of a product from another installer?
Currently I have two installs and I am combining them into one install. The issue I have a question about is when I go to upgrade a machine and run this new install on it, how can I force that install to uninstall the two old installs?
Machine 1 has Product 1 and Product 2 installed. I run Product 3 on this machine and I want it to remove Product 1 and 2 and then install itself.
Is this possible?

Assuming they're MSI-based, perhaps look into creating a major upgrade to remove the older products.

Thanks, I think that actually solved my issue. I didn't think about using a Major Upgrade for another product.
