hi,
i've created a setup with the help of P & D. if somehow, i need to make a minor code change, then do i need to re-create the setup or just replacing the new exe will do (it's not working).
thanks.

as long as you do not start using new dlls / ocx's , or change any of your own dlls / ocx's, replacing the exe should be enough.

Well, that depends on what you mean by "It's not working". Do you mean that the installation does not work or the app does not work?
And if the app does not work, what is the problem? You gave no indication of what error (if any) you received or any indication on why it is not working.
These things would certainly make one lean to a specific answer of if you can just replace the exe or not.
Also remember to increase the version number of your program or the P&D Wizard will not replace the exe.
when u create a setup package, it creates a support folder with all the files in it.. there is also a file (i think its a batch file?) that will recompile the cab file... this method was included with the PDW for exactly what you are looking to do.. simply put the new exe in that support folder, and recompile the cab file...
