I was trying the second method you suggested, but major upgrade and
RemoveExistingProducts
is not coexisting. I am getting error.
<MajorUpgrade Schedule="afterInstallValidate" DowngradeErrorMessage="A
later version of [ProductName] is already installed. Setup will now exit."/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
If I comment out Major version, the old version is not getting removed in
control panel. I am not sure where I am getting it wrong.
