Hi,

I had created two exe one with name 1.0.4 Host.exe and another with 1.0.5 ip.exe.First i have installed 1.0.4 exe and afterwards i had done with 1.0.5.it working fine.

But when i try to install 1.0.4 host.exe after installing the 1.0.5 ip.exe it has to work.if it is possible to do with installer.

Hi,

When an MSI package is launched Windows Installer checks if another version is already installed and if a newer version is found it displays an error message and stops the installation.

If you want to install an old product over a newer one, you must first uninstall the new one.

A workaround for installing an old product over a newer one is described in the uninstalling version if trying to install older version thread, but keep in mind that this is not the right approach.

Also, you can keep both products installed by checking the "Allow side by side installs of different product versions" checkbox in the Upgrades page.

Best regards,

Hi,

i have created two EXE one is for normal installation and another is for upgradation.To do upgradation i had changed my product version from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 in product version.it works normally without any error .

suppose if i reverse the process by installing the version 1.0.1 and then 1.0.0 .it stops installation.

In upgrade tab i had selected"AUTOMATICALLY UPGRADE OLDER PRODUCT VERSION" for both exe.

whether it is possible to do the above condition using installer.

Thanks
