    Visual Studio .NET 2008 Deployment project runs but does not updateinstalled version

    I have a visual studio 2008 solution(win forms)
    I have a Deployment project with it to install the software
    I upgrade the version number on the deployment project and build it
    When I run this on the destination machines everything appears to work
    fine (no errors).
    However when the application is opened on the deployment machines it
    has not upgraded.

    We have to manually uninstall teh application first then run the
    deployment project. In this case it works fine.

    Deployment project settings
    Detect newer installed versions: True
    Version : This gets updated every time (and we we increment, visual
    studio automatically changes the product code).
    Upgrade Code : This stays the same

    This always worked fine when we were using visual studio 2005.
Working...
