Question Update application project with Setup.exe

[tkroljic]

All,
I’ve created a vb.net application and Setup project. The initial installation on the client when well. My issue is with trying to use the SETUP.exe to update the application, especially the executable file.
I’ve set the following configuration setting in the SETUP deployment properties as follows:

• I’ve increased the Version number from 1.0.0 to 1.5.0
  • I then click on YES when prompted for “the ProductCode be changed”
• RemovePreviousVersions = TRUE
• DetectNewerInstalledVersion = TRUE
• UpgradeCode : remains the same

I then “Rebuild” the SETUP project. This creates a new Setup.exe and MSI file.
Now when I run the setup.exe file, it appears to go through the process of “reinstalling” the application, but the executable hasn’t changed. When I look at the folder on the client computer, it appears that all the files but the app.exe changed. The Executable still reflects the old date/time stamp and doesn’t run the new application.

If I look at the installation through the Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs, it shows me the newer version number.
Any thoughts on what I might be missing?


Here are my settings for my setup file:

open your project(not on development setup)
then project option - > assembly option -> write version
