New .exe spawns old Install package !?!?!?!

[SkiNLaB]

i know this sounds REALLY weird.

but i decided to change the .exe name of my program, so anyway i give the user the new .exe, and when they try to run it, it activates their old install package and installs the old exe etc. how F**king weird is that.

any pointers!?

vb6 install package was an .msi made from VSI

[Armbruster]

the evil side of auto repair feature of VSI? I am not sure, but that is what it sounds like to me

Armbruster is correct, I believe! You will have to keep the old exe name. You can replace it with an updated one, but if the system detects the original exe name missing, it will reinstall it ...

that's not too bad, at least youhave one working.

Mine doesn't work, when install the last system .dll file(I am not sure the last file is installed tomy computer or not),I was told to reboot computer for some system file is out-of-date. but afer reboot, same error come back.

I am really headache.
