UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is set in the product being *uninstalled*, the target of the RemoveExistingProducts, not in your code that is calling it. If you want to have a dialog because your setup has detected that it is upgrading an older existing product, then base that dialog on the property being set in your Upgrade, usually a name you invent like "FOUNDPREVIOUSVERSIONS". If you want your uninstall code to do something special when it's being upgraded (as opposed to being just installed) then that older outgoing product can condition it on UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE.

How can I base my dialogs then, if RemoveExistingProducts is executed late in the game? Example I want a specific dialog displayed based on UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE. So if RemoveExistingProducts is executed after InstallExecute, the dialog stage has past then. Is there something else I can condition the dialog on?
