Deploying projects in VS .Net 2003

Hi
I created a deployment project for a windows application. My users
can setup the application on their computers. But when I make changes
to the application and redeploy the project my users have to uninstall
their previous version and install the new one. Is there a way to
have a kind of update or something that reinstallīs the application
without having to uninstall it first?

Brynjar,

Check the properties for your setup project.

The three that come to mind are :
1. Detect Newer Installed Version = True
2. Remove Previous Verion= true
3. Version ( I then manually update this value )

Just build and deploy, writes on top of the previous.
