I have a COM project which is already produced and using for in-house,
As it is COM project, by default, VS2003 create a setup project for it.

Right now, I need to do some improvement for the proejct,
But I found there is no way to do the upgrade action.
I mean I have already created the new version, but it seems I need to
uninstall the original version and then re-install the new one.

How can I update the COM program just the software update in patch?

All computer are windows 2000 to windows XP with .NET 1.1

Thanks for any advise.
 
well in my situation ,, just recreating the initial package with a new (
higher) version number does the trick .

It doesn't work for me, would you please tell me your develop
situation?

My situation:
1, For Windows XP and windows 2000
2, .NET framework 1.1
3, VS2003
4, office 2000, Office XP, office 2003

Thanks,
 
And,
Although my project is already using.
I still set it in debug mode, do I need to change it to release mode?

It seems just make the package in difference directory in distinct
folder in VS.
 
If you increment the setup project`s version number it will detect a previous
installation , if you do not increment the version number it will show a nag
screen that the product is laready installed etc etc


my situation was

Vs.Net 2003 ( to create the installer 2.0 setup )
prog written in VB6 i.c.w. Access 2000
target systems windows 98 and newer
