Greetings,

   I have a quick question regarding the capabilities of InstallShield Express for Delphi 3.0.
The installation of an application works wonderfully!  But, when I update a file (such as
myapp.exe) and rebuild the installation disk and then try to install the updated files
over the originally installed files, InstallShield Experss won't overwrite the old files.
This makes it necessary for the user to uninstall the original application and then reinstall
the new version.  Is there a "switch" of some kind in InstallShield Express (Delphi 3.0) so
that a user can reinstall an application to the same directory without having to uninstall
the old application first?  

Thanks in advance!

Can you check in the Folders option? Thwere should be a button called
"Modify Group". It should have an option to specify how you want to
overwrite files.

Usually it is set to "Update files with newer version numbers". You can set
it to "Always update" but that has a dangerous effect of overwriting a
user's settings.

Happy coding

You have to update the versioninfo for myapp.exe, from 1.0 to 1.1
and so on, otherwise IS does not upgrade.
