How to force deinstall when updating ?
Hello,
i have an MSI Installation, and multiple instances.
When i update my product, it should automatically be deinstalled first, after this it should do normal installation.
Is this possible ?
I cant change the version number so it will be forces the reinstall by the msi Installer.
Every Update-Installation has to force the deinstall before installing.
Greetings
Andreas

This behavior is basically a Major upgrade.
So set up a Major upgrade (see upgrade view and use the wizard).
