Hi,
I had created an ASP.NET web application and then created an MSI for it and
sent it to
one of my friends. The web app installed successfully and worked fine on my
friend's
server. But now I need to do some bug fixes and also add some other ASPX
pages to the web
project. I wanted to know how should I package the changes and send it back
to my friend so
that he has to put in minimum effort while deploying the changed web
application.
Should I make a MSI of the new project and then ask him to unistall the
previous one and
install the new MSI?? Is there a better method??
Looking forward for comments.
Best Wishes,
-Aayush

Yes.
In many cases you can get the MSI to automatically uninstall the old MSI, so
that's just a single installation step he'll have to go through. It doesn't
get much simpler than that.

Yes, but it still safer to uninstall the program first manually from
Add/Remove Programs dialog. That's what I am always doing.
