Hey Rick,

Isn't it possible Windows Installer is determining the file version is
different from what was installed and not uninstalling it?

Actually it's the other way around, all files that were installed by the
installer should get uninstalled unless they're marked as Permanent or
Shared. In InstallShield Express 2009, go to the Files pane, right click on
a file in the lower right quadrant, choose Properties, select the Advanced
tab, and see if the Permanent and/or Shared check boxes are marked. If so,
that's the reason they're not getting uninstalled. 

Whether or not you can safely change these settings depends of course on the
app and which files we're talking about. For example, you probably would not
want to uninstall the user's database files that they may have updated.
