setup file problem

[EMW]

Hi,

When I have created an setup project for my program, it generates a setup
file and a MSI file.
Since the users of my program all have winXP, I only distribute the MSI
file.

What I want is that the user only have to doubleclick on the msi file to
install the program.
This is no problem the first time, but a second, after some changes, the
user has to go to the 'add software' window to remove the old version before
he can install de new one.

Isn't it possible to have it just overwrite the previous version?
How do I make the MSI file aware of this?

rg,
Eric
