    How to install update to application created in VB ..?

    Hello Everybody,
    A package which is created under VB & Access as a backend
    is installed in one system.The users are using it without any problem.
    But now I modified & updated my original VB project &
    now i want to install the updates to the end users.

    What to do next...?
    Should I re-install whole package from the beginning.?
    Doing so, isn't it affects to the back end MS Access file?
    OR
    What to do..to install only updates.

    Please reply.
    Thanks in advance

      Can you please provide more detail on what your goal is.

      What did you update in your project?
      Is it a component?(.DLL .OCX etc...) (Asked above)

      If you just updated the Executable. It might be possible to just overwrite the .EXE installed with the same name of course. Should uninstall without any problems.

      If you updated a component, you need to remove the old component from the system and the registry. I'm sorry I don't have information on how to do this. Maybe someone else will care to answer for both of us?

        Hello Sir,
        I added some components to original VB project.
        Now I need to update that component to an existing Package.

        Thanks & regards,
