Uninstalling Previous Version of Software?
How would I go about adding the uninstall of the previous version of my software from the target system to my my MSI project?
It can obviously be done through the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, obviously, but I would like InstallShield to handle it as part of the install. I want to remove the old version before I install the new one to give the target system a very clean install.
Cheers,
Don

you can go for a major upgrade and choose the option to uninstall the older version and then install the newer version.
