with vb.net 05 + access 03
kindly can some one guide me
what is a software update
how it is connected with version number of my application
and how to distribute it
i mean i have already distributed the application but i have made some modifications to it & i want to distribute it as an version update ( of course replacing the .exe file will do the job) but i feel ugly.
I'm sure you're pretty on the inside. :lol:Quote:

thanks for reply
this means that reinstalling the application with new built
if so
the same program will get installed twice ( i tried this )
in this case if the prior version gets deleted then fine
My implication was that you would tell us how you deployed your app in the first place. For instance, did you use ClickOnce publishing? Did you use a Setup project? Did you use something else?
sorry
it was setup package
i used inno setup wizard
Then this is a question about Inno and not VB.NET, so it belongs in the Deployment forum. I've asked the mods to move it.
And the mods have listened...:) Moved To Application Deployment
I imagine that the Inno products handle package versioning in some proprietary way.
If you have an edition of VS that supports Installer projects I'm sure you could manage it there using standard techniques (Product code/Upgrade code). Inno doesn't use the Windows Installer infrastructure though.
