When you install just set the property MODIFYREMOVE=remove
this will do the job
What happens when you type "msiexec /qb /x {4A03706F-666A-4037-7777-5F2748764D10}" in the Run box?
It's possible that's not the right GUID for that version...
What happens when you manually run the script (mimicing same commands etc without autoit)? Does it upgrade properly?
BTW... Uninstalling AU is slick, but the uninstall will error out with a 1603 error on Win7. Though it seems to perform most of the uninstall steps, resulting pretty much what you want. Just FYI for reporting etc. We had to go another route basically due to reports showing tons of this failure (but everything was fine). I am guessing you avoid most of that with your autoit wrapper...
