In this way it is showing a warning : warning LGHT1076 : ICE61: This product should remove only older versions of itself. The Maximum version is not less than the current product. (1.1.0 1.1.0) what to do about this ? when I am upgrading from version 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 it shows nothing in user interface which tells user that software is being upgraded.
