Uninstaller for Multiple Products

Each uninstaller is tied to a certain product. It does this through its product ID (found in the Project | Description task). In order to have one uninstaller function for a group of separate products, it is necessary that every project have the same product ID. Each separate product should then be “demoted” to a feature. The uninstallers for these separate projects must also share the same uninstaller name and installer location. For example:

Installer 1:Acme Word Processor and Acme Spreadsheet
Product ID:97338341-1ec9-11b2-90e2-a43171489d33
Features:Acme Word Processor and Acme Spreadsheet
Installer 2:Acme Slide Show
Product ID:97338341-1ec9-11b2-90e2-a43171489d33 ...
