Hello,

I'm creating a deployment package in VS.NET but am having problems with a couple of things.

Firstly, is it possible to deploy it as a silent installer (spitting out errors if they occur), or at least have it close after installation. Under User-Interface, it won't allow me to deploy it without adding a dialogue under End, so I'm currently adding a Finished screen.

Secondly, I have RemovePreviousVersions set to true however instead of removing them, if it detects one it shows an error. "Detected previous version installed, please remove using control panel".

Any ideas? Cheers...

Solved the silent install more or less by basically just having Start, Progress and End and no dialogues. Still stuck on removing previous versions and also have another question.

With no dialogue, how do i get the installer to install for all users rather than just me by default?

Cheers.

Sorted installing per machine by editing the msi with Orca. Still doesn't remove previous versions, anyone got any ideas?

Cheers.

All working fine now. I didn't realise when checking for previous version it was looking for the installer version (which i now manually increment) and not the actual application version.
