Unable to Update using Exe

Wed Jun 27, 2018 3:22 pm

Hi,

older version of exe , app directory location in user specific folder. We got new requirement to change the app directory to ProgramFilesFolder.

For that i have made below change to AIP file.
Application Folder : [ProgramFilesFolder]\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]
Download update in this folder : [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName]\updates\

Previous values are :
Application Folder : [LocalAppDataFolder]\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]
Download update in this folder : [LocalAppDataFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName]\updates\

After creating new exe, i am installing new exe on top of old version, still app directory showing as LocalAppDataFolder.
I have un-install older version, after that installing newer version of exe , directory showing as ProgramFilesFolder.

also attached the project file and screen shot for reference.

please let me know what all the changes need to done, to install newer version on top of existing version.
