(Minor) upgrade install without uninstalling, possible?

Hi, I'm evaluating Advanced Installer at the moment and seem to have gotten my head round creating a single (setup.exe) installer that installs both full (first time) installs and minor upgrades quite happily.

However, I'd like the minor upgrade installs to not uninstall the previous version first. Is this possible and if so could someone please assist how I should achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Problem solved, I just needed to switch from "Uninstall old version first" to "Install new version first" and the process is much smoother.

Hy and welcome to our forums,

That was the solution, just make sure you follow the limitations imposed by this order of install, as mentioned in our GUI when you have changed the setting.

If you have other questions/recommendations, please don't hesitate to contact us, by e-mail or on the forums.
