    removing previous installation on install

    I added a new "Project Setup" from setup and deployment. I choose "true" for RemovePreviousVersions. I built the solution and installed my app. I then changed the ProductCode to the UpgradeCode and built the solution again and installed again. but when I went to add/remove programs (in the control panel) I had to versions of my app installed. What do I do so the program will delete previous installations when upgrading?

    I am using vb.net (visual studio 2008) and the deployment is from the VS, used as posted above.

    Change the version number in the property of the setup project and RemovePreviousVersions. Then it works fine.

    nope. it didn't erase the previous version. When I went to the control panel > add/remove programs there were still two versions of my program.
