VS Setup Project
I am creating a Visual Studio Setup project. I want to un-install another component from the system from the install of my component. The other component is installed from my own setup created using Visual Studio.
Currently when I am calling the un-install of the other component from the install action of the component I get the error code: 1618 (another MSI already running).
Could anyone suggest an alternative way to solve this problem?

you may add custom action but do remember add custom action in commit folder only .so that only after installation uninstall start

You don't need custom actions for that, you can use built-in support from Windows Installer: Can I configure an msi installer to remove any other installation with a different productcode but the same upgradecode before installation?
