How to get InstallShield LE to uninstall the existing installation automatically? More advanced versions of InstallShield. Old version still exists on.

Getting an InstallShield LE installer to uninstall the previous version takes a couple of extra steps and careful avoidance of one step. On the General Information pane are two GUIDs you can modify. The step you don't want to take is modifying the Upgrade Code, hence the big elongated red circle with the slash through it in the diagram at the left. The line above this is the Product Code and the line above that is the Product Version line.

Right-clicking on the Upgrade Paths as shown at the left allows you to add a New Upgrade Path. This opens a dialog that lets you find your previous setup.exe. In the open file dialog that appears, be sure to use the popup at the bottom to select 'Setup Exe Files (*.exe).

Why it defaults to Windows Installer Packages (*.msi) is just one of the perverse mysteries. Once you select the setup.exe file for the previous version it will fill in the the correct Upgrade Code that should match both your old version and your new version. You can then Enter the Min Version and Max Version fields. In the diagram in the right pane, you can see I've already added a new upgrade path and have set my min version to the previous version and the max version to the current version.

I haven't experimented with values for these fields, but this did the trick for my install. NOTE: In December of 2013 I moved on to Advanced Installer.
