[wix-users] Uninstallation of another msi during uninstallation

[Alon Dean]

Thank you for the response!
1. OK, thanks
2. From what I read, the upgrade element of msi A can uninstall other msi
(B) *during A's installation. *I want to uninstall B in the process of
*uninstalling
A*.
If that's possible then I missed how an upgrade element can accomplish
this, can you please explain?

Thanks again
