winforms setup file enhancement

Question

Hi i've created a setup file using c# winforms. Now i'm going to do some changes in the code and want to rebuild the same setup file. Every thing going fine. But when i try to install the new setup file it is asking application alreay exist.

I dont want to do like this. If alreay exist it should ask me like update, remove, reinstall like this? So where do i setup all these things?

thank you

Answer 1

After Producing a new version of the setup you should change the version number which will change the ProductCode after that it will replace the old version automatically.

Answer 2

I have no personal experience, but rumor has it that the setup included with Visual Studio has bugs and problems similar to the one you're experiencing. I've heard Inno Setup is better.
