I have a VB 6 application and I am using Visual Studio installer to create deployment kit for this.

However, when the resultant msi is run in systems where a previous version of this application is already installed, it asks for two options.

1. Repair application

2. Remove application

When clients choose first one, it is just re-installing the previous version of application.

When they choose remove option, the previous version is un-installed. They need to run the application again to install new version of application (for which they are not agreeing).

Is there any way I can automatically remove any previous versions and install new version of my application ? I don't want client to retain the old version.

Thanks

hi there.. you have to create an upgrade package...

i dont remember if visual studio has this options.. if not you will have to fill the tables inside the msi.
