What would I do to the UpgradeCode to get that to work as well? Would that not
be needed then?
[probably a MSI question], but how does the installer know what the previous
version is in order to uninstall it?

Hello,
I have a problem upgrading my product. The database file is deleted or
overwritten. It is due to a bad previous installation process. I need to
correct it.
I need to backup the data and restore it later if an older version is
already installed.
I think that I need to create a Cus
John,
I don't believe you can do it as an "upgrade" i.e. all in one go. An
installer is either per-user or per-machine. You can't upgrade a
per-machine install to per-user install or vice-versa.
I think your only option is to un-install your previous version and then
install the new one as
Would your client consider it acceptable if an administrator had to "bless" the
package ( publish / advertise ) and that a standard user could then actually
install it?
Changing an application from all-users to per-user isn't always as simple as it
sounds. Install the .NET framework? Create
John,
Just to elaborate, you cannot install a package where the product ID
matches that of an already installed product. You should change either
your product ID to * (which will create a new ID every time you build
your MSI) or alternately, change it manually yourself.
I tend to do the lat

Currently, we install as an all-users piece of software; mostly because I
