Product Reinstalls - no feedback to user?
Hello,
I have created a new product install and when I run the installer a second time, I would have expected to see some sort of message telling me that I already have this version installed on the system. Instead, the installer simply proceeds as if it has absolutely no knowledge of the previous installation.
Is there a way to implement this simple check and then prompt the end-user if they want to reinstall or exit?
Thanks in advance
