If MSI supports it, WiX supports it (or it's a bug). You can prompt for 
notification to allow the normal processing. WinDbg uses a property 
value as the list of features to remove from the prior version and sets 
that property in the UI. You can do the same thing to allow some 
features of both products to work side-by-side. But you need to figure 
out why RemoveExistingProducts isn't running -- that means your MSI is 
running in maintenance mode, which means you're not meeting all the 
conditions for a major upgrade.
