I suspect I'm "stuck" but thought I'd ask.
I have two existing MSIs, call them "Base.msi" and "Dell.msi". They install
separate facets of my product - the base files, then additional files
needed to support particular Dell hardware.
I now want to create a new single MSI that replaces "Base.msi" and
"Dell.msi." Call it "both.msi".
Is there a way, strictly in "both.msi", to keep "Base.msi" and "Dell.msi"
from installing if "both.msi" is already installed?
As I have "both.msi" defined now, "both.msi" has the same UpgradeCode as
"base.msi." The relevant (I think) parts of my WiX package are below.
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.

<?define DellMaxVersion="1.0.3" ?> <!-- Highest version this should
upgrade. 1.0.3 is the final separate Dell MSI version. -->
<?define DellMinVersion="1.0.0" ?> <!-- Lowest version this should upgrade.
I don't think 1.0.0 was ever distributed but doesn't matter. -->
