    setup install 'error' - Application already exists

    Hi,

    I have created a setup project and have deployed the app. When I make
    changes and attempt to reinstall I get an error that I must remove installed
    version.

    How can I get my app. to automatically write over the original? Is there a
    way to say if version.x >version.y then install? Any other advice/comments
    would be greatly appreciated.

    Rgds, Phil

      Hi Phil ,

      if you made an installer project then overwritting is not an option , ( this
      is very wrong ,,,, as it potentially leaves garabage on the system ,
      registry settings etc etc )
      the idea is that you perform a deinstallation , and as i recall correctly
      this can be set to perform automaticly if you install a new version of your
      product.
