Do you have it automatically checking for updates?
No. I haven't exactly figured out how the update will be pushed out. Right now I test it by going from machine to machine, and I have to uninstall the previous version first. By the way this is express, if it matters.
You are talking about ClickOnce publishing, right?
If so, there is a checkbox while you are setting up the publishing to have it check for updates. I forget exactly which screen, though, and I can't look it up now.
I know where that option is. Will that allow me to install without removing?
I have done so successfully. Whether it was that option or not I cannot say. However, I have only had to reinstall one time. All the other times I just re-published and it updated itself. The one time that wouldn't work was because I changed the location that it was being published to, in which case it couldn't find the updates.
It always helps not to publish the debug version. Someone should tell that to the DumbS$*t OP...
