As mentioned by Jeremiahf, you need to managed your Upgrade scenarios using
element in your Wix for your msi.
In your case, you may need to do a major upgrade.
Also, please check if you are not changing Product GUID in your next
upgraded wix.

I suppose I'm down to 1 option other than having end users installing

How do I go about changing my code to include your "burn" option?

I have no story for Advanced, and my attempt about two years ago with Mondo
ended in frustration. I'm not developing further custom UI as I am actively

If you're essentially replicating the UI extension, you can use dark to get the

As an additional note, my UIs regularly reside within a wixlib with no issues.

Advanced and Mondo UI's are notorious difficult to modify. They include stuff

Not sure. Now that you've moved code into a wixlib, any UIRef elements left

The NetFxExtension always downloads it. To have the .NET 4.5.1 package

What are you wanting to uninstall? Is it an upgrade scenario? Are you trying
to replace an older version of your software with a newer version?
Or are you trying to remove some other software when yours is installed?
