Deploymnet MSI Update question

Hi,
i have a c#.net application and a setup project for it. All worked
fine. Now i make some changes and want to give our customers an update
msi file. I do not want that the customer deinstall the old version,
because i must keep the existing config xml file and add the
additional xml nodes.

i changed the version of the assembly and setup project, productcode,
packagecode and compilied the new msi. But the new msi does not
replace the old dlls.
i have also tried msiexec /i [msifile] reinstall=all
reinstallmode=v omos but it was the same.

Does anyone know how to do a update msi without deinstall with visual
studio 2003 or other free tools?

thanks a lot

been ruminating on the question (mostly in a 390/v7 context) of whether, and if so when, a row update becomes an insert/delete. i assume that there is a threshold on the number of columns of the table, or perhaps bytes, being updated where the engine just decides, screw it, i'll just make a new one. surfed this group and google, but couldn't find anything. the context: we have some java folk who like to parametize/

On a "Find Duplicates Query", does anyone have a good solution for renaming the duplicate records? My thinking was to take the results of the duplicate query, and somehow have it number each line where there is a duplicate (tried a groups query, but "count" won't work), then do an update query to change the duplicate to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
