UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE Property

The UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE property is set by Windows Installer when an upgrade removes an application. The installer sets this property when it runs the RemoveExistingProducts action. This property is not set by removing an application using the Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. An application determines whether it is being removed by an upgrade or the Add or Remove Programs by checking UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE.

The requirements in this section are confusing. This property requires Windows Installer 4.0 on Windows Server 2008 and Vista, but it works with 2003, xp and 2000.
