I use setup project in VS2005 and have many exe and dll files. Whenever I
create a new code for the setup I can reinstall the msi created in a PC
without having uninstall first. Problem is that the new installation doesn't
install all files and I can see that old dll's still exist. Only manual
deleting them would end up with new files.
Can that be fixed, meaning that new installation would actually install all
files?
Regards

Thanks,
All what I do is select the setup project in my solution, select ProductCode
and press on New Code button.
I have in my solution and exe file, and some dll's, both .net and MFC dll's.
How do I use the versioning in these projects?
Regards
Moshe

Hi Moshe,
I am writing this form a PC that I do not use for development, so I
cannot recall exactly what property to use. But when you create a
deployment project there is a property in the installer that lets you
choose whether to replace all files from a previous install, or just
add newer ones.
