Uninstallation of old version is not happening automatically

I'm using Installshield2020; 
 I'm trying to upgrade my old version of product.
When i try to upgrade, i get an error "Another version of this product is already installed.Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove programs from Control panel"

Expectation is old product should be uninstalled automatically and new version should be installed.

If i try to change product code, both versions are coexisting. How to resolve this ?
