Hello,

I've an app already installed. If I do some modifications, generate a
new setup (using the same project I was using and with the "overwrite
old versions" as True), I receive the following error when I try to
install my new setup exe:

==
Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of
this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing
version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.
==

What I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

You need to increment the Version in the project properties first. That will
prompt you to change a couple of Guids, say yes. The remove of the old
version should work then.
