Remove Files before Install

Hi all

I am using a basic MSI project. I would like to remove the following two programs before installing my product.

1) MSDE
2) SQL Server Compact Edition

I have product GUIDS for both should I need them. How do I make the installer remove these two files before proceeding to install my software?

I do not want to uninstall these manually. So if there is a way to uninstall using the same setup exe used to install our software, that is what I am after.

Any help will be appreciated.

Instead of their Product Codes, get their Upgrade Codes. Author in 2 Major Upgrades specifying those Upgrade Codes as the products to upgrade and they will be uninstalled prior to your product being installed.
