How to uninstall during installation in insall shield

i have built a Merge module using installshield 2010 . i have a built a main install shield using the same version.

i have included that merge module in the main installer For some reasons i have to uninstall the whole product and install the product again during installation . when i double click the .msi(setup) file . it has to uninstall the product first and then install new feature which i have added in the installer

Please can someone help me??

Thank you

Look at a major upgrade - they do exactly that, uninstall the older product as the new one is installed. I don't know how you specify that in the InstallShield IDE, but major upgrade, the upgrade table, RemoveExistingProducts are things to look for.
