automatically upgrade

I was looking at the aip (xml) file...and am trying to figure out that each time i create a msi..it gives me

"another version of this installed" ..cannot continue.

which PROPERTY in the xml is used to compare this.


if i create the msi from the same aip file each time, do i need to bump it .

i have the "automcatically upgrade" the checkbox checked...

thanks

re:

how can we upgrade the product code programatically. I want to put my own product code in there each time i build it.

thanks

That functionality is not exposed in the UI. We didn't see a reason to do so, actually.

A work-around would be to edit the .aip file by hand.
