Hi,
I've just downloaded the test version and I'm doing some tests. In our company, every installion of a software product is tailored to a specific customer, so every .msi package is different but the software version number is identical. For updating the customers installation (cinfiguration), I need an .msi package that first silently uninstalls certain folders and files, and then re-installs them from the new package. In other words, I need a packag, that can be installed over and over again without beeing uninstalled first.
How can I do that? At the moment, I get a dialog box, that tells me:
"Another version of this product is already installed ..."
Thank you for your help in advance
Michael

Here's how....
You need to go to Product Details page then increase the Product Version. After you leave the box it will ask if you want to create a new GUID, select yes.
Now it will work as you want.
Now it will work as you want.
Hi Travis,
Thanks a lot for the tip. I fact, thats not exactly what I want, because the product version is the same although I have different packages (same software version but different configuration for each customer). But in the meantime, I found a solution: In the "Install Parameters" page, I had to uncheck the checkbox "Do not install older versions of the product over newer ones". I my case, "same version" is treated as "older version".
