Automatically uninstall other editions of the same product

Uninstall other editions detected on the device that isn't the deployed application.

For example: if the customer deploys 7-Zip 64bit MSI application as required to a device, and the device has 7-Zip 32bit EXE or any other flavour of 7-Zip installed that isn't 64bit MSI, uninstall those apps before installing 7-Zip 64bit MSI.

Today for customers to achieve this, they depend on configuring supersedence, or the vendors installers to do this for them, or use custom pre-scripts.

      PMPC Folks: Almost 900 upvotes for this feature, and waiting 3 year and we only get this promoted to "NOTED"?


      This is a very important feature.

      This would turbo charge the utility that my organization is getting from PMPC.

      It would also be nice if to could move applications from user context to non user context

      Automatic uninstallation of older versions would be very helpful; I could see having this action dependent on a successful installation of the current version, rather than blowing away a working version before the latest one is installed.

      This is a must. For things like Adobe which has so many different versions. To be able to just run the install we want from PMPC and it remove all the other versions would be fantastic.
