What I have tried:

I try this code:

    <Condition Message="Could not uninstall">
    <![CDATA[(DISABLEREGKEY AND (REMOVE="ALL") AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE)) OR 
           ((NOT Installed) AND (NOT PATCH)) OR 
           (Installed AND (NOT REMOVE))                                                                 
    </Condition>

But it dont work in upgrade to newer version

Preventing of uninstallation would be a big sabotage against your customer. Do you really want it?
By the way, your fragment of code is not well-formed XML. :-)
