Installing an old version when a new version is already installed
I would like to install an old version of application even if there is a more current version. Is there a way I can do this? Currently when I try to do this I get the error, "A more recent version of MyApp is already installed on this computer.". I'd also like that the old version remove the current version when installing.
Re: Installing an old version when a new version is already installed
Hi,
You can allow side by side installations of multiple versions of your application.
However, this will not remove the newer version of your app. This is not supported by Windows Installer. Only when you install a newer version you can force the removal of the older ones, but not the other way around.
