Deployment Questions

[dave]

I have two questions regarding a VB.NET deployment project.

1) During an install, I would like any previous versions of the
application to be uninstalled automatically. Currently, I have to
goto Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs and manually uninstall
previous versions. In the Properties of the deployment project I have
RemovePreviousVersions set to True. This doesn't seem to do the
trick.

2) During an install, I would like the default to be to install the
program for "Everyone". Currently it defulats to only the current
user. How do I change this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

on the command line using msiexec...
