    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2005] Package & Deployment Update

    Is it possible to make a VB.NET 2005 package with the Package & Deployment Wizard, so that the user can overwrite the application if it already exists on its computer?

    Right now, I have to manually uninstall my application with the Control Panel, before I launch the MSI file every time I need to make a program upgrade.

    The installer will automatically uninstall an old version if you have set the properties of each correctly. Check out the ProductCode and UpgradeCode properties of your Setup project and read the associated documentation.
