1. How did you put the previous product in Add/Remove Programs. In the Windows Installer language, that's usually called an upgrade (in particular, a Major Upgrade). You can read about upgrades in the MSI SDK.
2. Yes, it is possible to have a "chainer" (what you call the wrapper below). An MSI cannot be a chainer because MSI no longer allows "nested" installs. There are quite a few chainers out there today... in WiX v3.5 we're introducing burn as our chainer.
