    Setup help

    I had installed version 1 of my application on user's machine.
    Now I am coming up with version 1.1 .
    How can I create a setup to get it installed without uninstalling the older version?
    Basically it should overwrites the old installation.
    thx

    That would all depend on the installer you are using and how you utilize version numbers.

    Re: Setup help

    I use the setup and deployment project comes with VS2005.

    When I go to Project properties I see Assembly version and File version.
    What do these two mean? Is it what I need to change to increment version?

    Also I see Publish version. I believe this is associated with the Click once deployment. But I am not using clickonce.

    Thanks for any input

    So, why can't you install over the old version?

    When I try to install over the old version it says please uninstall the previous version before running the setup.

    That would seem to be a VS issue. I don't know of any other installer that REQUIRES that.
