I am just starting with WiX 3.0. As an exercise I converted one of our
simple VS 2008 setup projects to WiX 3.0 and have two questions so far:
1. How do I make the new installer uninstall the previous version of the
product? Is it just a matter of setting UpgradeCode?
2. How can I use Product

For #1 I keep forgetting that's one of the topics on my list to add to
the docs. In the mean time you can read Alex's blog entry which is how I
got it working:

#2: Why not just reference the MSI ProductVersion property? Use the []

RegistryKey Key=Some\Path\[ProductVersion] /

This works, too, thank you. But it has the same problem of not deleting
a key during upgrade

that has a different guid for each version? If not I can't see how the
install would know to remove the key.

I would say if there is a new registry key then that is a new component
so it needs a new guid. I wouldn't say it should be auto generated as I
