Creating a Patch Release

How can I create a patch release with a setup project. I have deployed a
project and need to issue a bug fix and don't wish to uninstall the current
package and then reinstall it.

Thanks.

set your setup project to overwrite the affected dll or executable. I have
run into problems with the file being hot, which means overwrites will fail
if the application is still running.

Hi y'all, only recently, I've delved into creating installers with VS.NET. So far, I'd created a Deployment Solution, added a couple of Merge Modules to it & everything worked fine. Today, I read some stuff on MSDN that talked about Windows Installer Patch files, but nowhere did I find any info regarding creating WIP files with VS.NET.
