Which tool do you use for creating your setup? When you do a setup project with Visual Studio, such a feature is "integrated".

Thanks for your reply Bernhard Hiller. Setup created with Visual Studio Only.

In the Visual Studio Steup project, go to the Properties of your setup project proper. Set the DetectNewerInstalledVersion, ProductCode, Version, UpgradeCode, and RemovePreviousVersions properties. I am not sure if that's all or not, perhaps some more settings are required...
