You are not removing the previous application that is why you get 2 icons.

I too end up with 2 icons on the Pocket PC desktop after an install. When I re-install over the top, I end up with another icon. Each has a subscript added to the application... as in the n-th copy.

I'm a real rookie. Can anyone point me in the right direction for writing my installer properly?

Also, when I install, I point to the fact that I want it inn the start menu, and it doesn't show up there. It does on PPC 2002 devices, but not 2003 devices.

Any help?

You probably have captured uninstall info in the registry under HKLM\Software\YourSoftware|Uninstall or something like that. To make sure that this is the issue, go to the Add/Remove Programs section of the Installation expert and check the "Do not display in Add/Remove Progs" radio button. Compile and install. If you see anything in Add/Remove progs, it means u have unwanted entries in your registry. Go hunting, take them out, then when you have cleaned it all out, recheck the "display in Add/Remove" radio button.
