This is dev box. I patched the installer and ran
msiexec /I foo.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMOVE=vomus
However, I receive the following error:
Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this
version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this
product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.

Is this on a dev box or deployed? If dev box, the easiest way out of this
problem is to fix the msi and recache it with msiexec /i foo.msi REINSTALL=ALL
REINSTALLMOVE=vomus. Then you should be able to do your uninstall.

Subject: [WiX-users] How do I force an uninstall that does not meet the

I believe that I have created an installation that I cannot uninstall due to a
thoughtless condition. Behold!!
<!-- Check Conditions -->
<Condition Message="PowerShell 2.0 or greater is required">
<![CDATA[NOT Installed OR POWERSHELLVERSION >= "2.0"]]>
</Condition>
I want the installer to fail if PowerShell is less than version 2.0. However, I
do not want to perform this check on uninstall. I should be able to uninstall
my application if PowerShell is not available. I think I want:
<!-- Check Conditions -->
<Condition Message="PowerShell 2.0 or greater is required">
<![CDATA[Installed OR (POWERSHELLVERSION >= "2.0")]]>
</Condition>
In any case, I know have an installed application that I cannot uninstall via
Add/Remove Programs. How can I properly clean up the installation and remove it
from Add/Remove programs?
