How to prevent a set of MSIs with common Upgrade code from installing post install of my msi?

I distribute 2 msis A.msi and B.msi . I have been distributing it for long time and every new release maintains the same Upgrade code and new higher version.

I have now a new msi C.msi . After installing C.msi, I want that the users should not be allowed to install any version of A.msi and B.msi . C.msi removes any existing A.msi and B.msi but I am unable to prevent installation post C.msi install.

I use WIX to build my MSI.

You cannot prevent already distributed installers from being installed over another package. So there's not much you can do.

It would have worked only if A and B would have been configured from the start to stop if C is found.
