We are in pre-sales mode and testing Advanced Installer.
We are looking to move away from InstallShield.
We have a previous version of our software installed in Industry using a InstallShield package.
We have successfully built a test install package that meets our needs 90% with Advanced Installer trial version.
What we cannot figure out how do to, and we were told we could do this, is to include the removal of the previous version of our software that was installed with the InstallShield package mentioned above.
We have created a new Product Code (as we always did with InstallShield).
We have edited the Upgrade Code using the previous upgrade code from the last InstallShield install package (we NEVER change the upgrade code before in our InstallShield...only Product Code and Package Code).
In Upgrades, we set "Automatically upgrade older product versions" AND "uninstall old version first and then install new version"
Nothing else was done in Upgrades.
Yet, when installing it creates another version and does not remove the old version.
We must be missing a step. We are basically in emergency mode at this time. If we can solve this, we will be purchasing.
Certainly time matters to us and will help with a decision.
