Setup for several editions

[Christof Nordiek]

Hi,

my apllication will have several editions one simple and one with additional
features.
The user shall be able to uprade from the simple to the extended version.
The extended
version will replace the simple.
My question is, what is the best way to accomplish the upgrade. Would it be
a good
idea to handle them like different versions using the
RemovePreviousVersion-Property?
Is there a better way?

thanks
Christof

Hi,

It depends of how your app is designed, if the "premium" features use a
plug-in architecture it could be as simple as replacing (or adding) a dll.

Of course for removepreviousversion to work well both the premium and the
lite version should be the same application, otherwise win. installer will
not tag the lite as a previous version.
