InstallScript - Uninstall previous version (No Product Code)
I have an InstallScript project and I need to uninstall the previous version of the software when the user is performing an upgrade. I found many post explaining how to perform a major upgrade but I guess it doesn't apply to this type of project because there is no Product Code to update.
I must uninstall the outdated files. If I need to do this is script then please let me know.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Use OnUpdateUIBefore & OnUpdateUIAfter. These 2 funtion would help you achieve your requirement.

So it sounds like I have to accomplish this in script. Is there a specific command that you know of that will uninstall the previous installation or do I have to remove each file individually?
