Hello There
I have created a C# application and its corresponding setup project. The setup was installed on a client machine.
The client want some changes in the application so as I did it accordingly into the code. The application build successfully. Now the client don't want to uninstall previous setup and install the new one. I carry executable file inside the bin folder and dump it into the client's destination folder but the changes doesn't affect the system.

Looking for a solution.
Need Suggestion
Best Regards

you have to do following steps while creating setup,

1.Set Remove Previous Installation as True
2.Set Detect new version as True
3.Your C# program's version must increase with every deployment
4.You should change version of your installer to one higher version and it will ask you to change product code, select YES.
5.Do not change your upgrade code, let it be same.

If you do not do 3rd step correctly, installer will still install and keep the old file, your file version of every file must be new if you have changed your content.
