That would work for an application that was installed w/o the NoUninstall flag and it shows up in Remove Programs. I have tried to allow it to remove the prevous, but it returns with "removal unsuccessful", and when the installation is complete, it throws an "install unsuccessful" error. In other words, the new application that is trying to uninstall the previous fails at uninstalling. Some versions of Sprite Back have the same problem, forcing them to release a dedicated removal .exe.
