I'm trying to do a major upgrade from version 7.0.0 to 7.0.0.1. I have to do a major since Windows installer only supports 3 places in the version. Don't ask, I guess marketing has more pull than development.

Anyways a normal major upgrade isn't working because of the versioning rules. So, what I need to do is add an msiexec /x{GUID} to our InstallUISequence.

Has anyone done this before? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to add this custom action to my ReadyToInstall dlg event.

Would I be better off hacking the registry value for the version?

Any ideas?

Maybe you could do a Small update instead of a Major upgrade?
If you do a Major upgrade, do you need to prevent downgrades? If not, it might work if you change the version number settings in the Upgrade table.

In a silent install the UI sequence would be skipped. So I would try to find a better solution.
