Prerequisites using MSIExec.exe
Is it possible to create a prerequisite to uninstall a prerequisite to an old version of the app you are installing?
Can you command line uninstall an application using MsiExec.exe in a prequisite?

There is no direct obvious way to approach this in our prerequisite engine - you would probably have to create a helper exe which calls msiexec /u {product-code}. However since it's an MSI, you may be able to add a major upgrade in your product specifying its upgrade code and version to get it removed.
