Would like to have setup project install over old installation

How do you set up a setup project in VS 2002 to allow the installer to
over-write a previous installion?

Presently, if I rebuild the app, users have to remove it via control
panel and then install it. There is a project property called
"RemovePreviousVersions" which I have tried both ways and another
property called "DetectNewerInstalledVersion" which I think does not
apply to what I want- but I could be wrong.

(I can xcopy the files over but the users prefer the installer).

- thanks
