[Resolved] P&dw

Hi,

I have an EXE file i wish to update.

can this be done using the P&DW ?

if so how?

I have looked about but could not find anything relating to the removal of the original EXE and replace with the updated version.

many thanks

David

Providing the installer puts it in the same place, it should overlay the original.

If the installer puts it elsewhere, then you will have two copies of the same exe.

What exactly do you mean "an exe you want to update"? Have you created a deployment package and have actually deployed your app and want to now deploy an updated exe? Or are you attempting to just change the contents of the exe?

i have a exe that has had an update to the code, i now wish to run the setup.exe to add the new version of the exe. however when i run the setup after i create a new package it fails to remove the original exe.

also is there a uninstal option to add to the start menu or do i have to create the uninstal application my self ?

thanks

That is because you never changed the version of the exe. If you change the version number of the project then compile the exe then create the installation, the exe will be changed.
