I am using the bootstrapper plug-in from

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/do.../bootstrapper/

to include .net with my visual studio application. One major problem I am
noticing now is when i make a new build, the installer won't let me install
over or "upgrade", it makes me physically uninstall my program from
Add/Remove Programs. Does anyone know why this happens\? Is there a way
around it? Thanks in advance

Skylar

That's what the RemovePreviousVersions project property does, but you need
to update the Product Version project property and allow the ProductCode and
PackageCode to be changed. VS.NET has a bug in this upgrade area, but setups
generated with VS 2003 are fine.
