VS 2005: MSI Setup project and add/remove programs question

Hi All,

I have written a small app in VS2005 called "coop" and now want to
deploy to numerous machines. I have created a Setup project called
"Setup" within the same solution, which works fine apart from one
problem; When I look in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs my app
appears in the list as "Setup coop" - is it possible to change the
name that appears in Add/Remove Programs to make it more relevant to
my customers?

TIA

Kiers

I have a project that is deployed using a MSI. When the user attempts to install a new version of the program I require them to remove the existing version first. Is it possible to do the following 1.) Instead of having the user remove the program from the "add/remove programs menu" have my setup project copy the existing version to a backup directory? Thanks

I'd like to be able to use the same setup program to install multiple instances - e.g., DEV, TEST, etc., as I see fit. However, when once instance has already been installed, the web setup project will not install further instances; instead, I get a message that it has already been installed and I must use Control...

I had v1.0, v1.1 and v2.0 of .NET framework installed on my laptop and that was causing me a lot of grief. So I uninstalled v2.0 and pressed on with developing stuff in v1.0. Everything was great. I wrote a whole application. After completion I added a setup project. The setup project builds fine. But when I try to install the application, it gives me an error saying "This setup requires .NET framework." (Please install it). I checked the...

Hello... I posted this a couple of weeks back, but could't get a reply, so trying again! I use the Setup project in C# to create a .msi file to be distributed to the clients. The size of .msi is 12 MB. This file works fine on all the target machines, but on the development machine every time I remove the existing .msi (from add/remove programs) and install a new version, the size increases by 13-14

Hi. I have written a .NET C# program and have also made a setup project for it. Everything works fine, except that I would like my setup application to remove any existing version of my program before proceeding with the setup. This is because I get the following message if there is a previous version of my program installed: 'Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To...
