            Bug ID: 46061
           Summary: MSI uninstaller does not clean up Registry's
                    UpgradeCode, ProductCode
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.19
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

This bug is the same bug as 41269.

===================================================

This bug was fixed in Wine greater 2.0.3 and was OK in Wine-3.0 a year ago.
But it is open again in Wine-3.19. 

Scenario:

(1) A Windows app with version e.g. 3.1.7 is installed
(2) An new version of this app e.g. 3.1.21 gets installed with same UpgradeCode
but different Product- and PackageCode and with the directive
"RemoveExistingProducts" in the installation sequence BEFORE the new
installation.

PROBLEM:
The new 3.1.21 does not get installed automatically. In the installation
process the windows comes up again whether the former 3.1.7 should be Repaired
or Removed.
After Repair or Remove the former version gets uninstalled and the installer
terminates without installing the new 3.1.21.

BUT the installation of 3.1.21 needs to be started again.

Two years ago (Nov. 2016) we ran through a long and somehow painful discussion
and fixed the scenarion in Wine greater than 2.0.3. Also, Wine 3.0 worked fine.

But the bug is open again in Wine 3.19
