Hi. I have created one activex plug-in using .NET named as a Automation. It is a windows control libray. In that activex class i have one function called version where i have given the value as 1.0. And then i have deployed this plug-in using Instal Shield. It has got installed and working properly. Now i have modifed the Activex for some code changes and modified the version to 1.1. Then agian i delployed the activex using install shiled and installed in my system. But the modification is not getting relflected. The upgrade plug-in was not able to overiwrite the .dll file in program files folder. If do the same by uninsatlling the previous version. and then its taking the upgrade one. Please can anyone tell me why this is happing?

I think this has something to do with how InstallSheild works.
It makes sure that versions are preserved so that if new software's installed with an updated version of the .DLL, any existing software won't be broken because of this.Comment
