How can I determine the upgrade code of an old package?

I'm creating a new InstallShield Developer 7 package for an app that was previously packaged by someone else using InstallShield Professional 6.X. I decided to start from scratch and create a new ISDev7 project. I want my package to always uninstall any installed version of the application before installing the new version. From what I have read, that means that my package must use the same upgrade code as the previously-released package.

I do have both ISDev7 and ISPro6 and I have the ISDev6 project that I am replacing.

Thanks.

This method only works for Windows Installer based setups. InstallShield 6 didn't use Windows Installer technology. You would have to create a custom action that would run the uninstall program of the old version.
