R – how can i attach the framework in WIX

Finally I found a solution - I'm posting it here for other people who might have the same problem (all 5 of you):

• Change the product ID to *

• Under product add The following:

  <Property Id="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED" Secure="yes" />
  <Upgrade Id="YOUR_GUID">  
     <UpgradeVersion
        Minimum="1.0.0.0" Maximum="99.0.0.0"
        Property="PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED"
        IncludeMinimum="yes" IncludeMaximum="no" />
  </Upgrade> 
  

• Under InstallExecuteSequence add:

  <RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize" /> 
  

From now on whenever I install the product it removed previous installed versions.

Note: replace upgrade Id with your own GUID

A library performs specific, well-defined operations.

A framework is a skeleton where the application defines the "meat" of the operation by filling out the skeleton. The skeleton still has code to link up the parts but the most important work is done by the application.

Examples of libraries: Network protocols, compression, image manipulation, string utilities, regular expression evaluation, math. Operations are self-contained.

Examples of frameworks: Web application system, Plug-in manager, GUI system. The framework defines the concept but the application defines the fundamental functionality that end-users care about.
