How to update an application

[Grizz2]

I'm sure this has been asked a million times but could not find it in a search so here goes.
Your user installs version 1, you make version 2. How do you go about updating version 1 to version 2.
Do you just install the package in the same location and will this overwrite the changed files (sort of like saving a changed text file)?
Or do you have to write some kind of program to do this?
Thanks

Grizz,

I actually don't use packages, so i can't tell about that.
Here's what you can do to make it work without using packages.

1. overwrite any changed dll's and copy any newly used
ones, and register them.
2. Overwrite your old exe(s) with the new one(s)

And you should be ready to go...
