Creating MSI and setup.exe in VS2005

[JScannell]

I've successfully created a deployment project and it produces setup.exe and <project>.msi file from within VS 2005. the problem is, if the particular application I'm trying to install already exists, the setup won't let me proceed. I need to delete the app through Control Panel first.

Is there a way I can create my setup program so it will overwrite the app if it already exists?


Also, the setup.exe and <project>.msi files get created in a folder named Setup1.Release. I don't know where the Setup1 came from other than the default project name was setup1, but I changed it to <project>

I'm using Windows XP operating system.

Thanks in advance,

Increase the version number.
I believe there is an option in the setup project to overwrite existing files, but increasing the version number works.
