Thank you. I just hope that is something that can be done by the AutoUpdate.Net project that handles the upgrade process for the users.

I am building an .EXE file and just double clicking that to install the file. Once this has been approved and is going out to out production environment, There is an AutoUpdated.Net project that handles the downloading and installing of the software. I hate to keep bugging but where I would and how would I enter those values through the command line?

I hope that isn't the case. I have tried several other methods as well. I have created VB Scripts to backup and restore the database as you suggested but the problem is that the existing version is uninstalled before my scripts to move the files are triggered to run (Another limitation on the Limited Edition Version). Performing a Major Update also triggers the uninstallation of the existing version first which wipes the database file. My last option is to poise the update as a Minor one and hope that works. Can you think of anything else that I can try with the Limited Edition to get this update process to work where I can backup/keep my database file throughout the upgrade process?

Hello, Thank you for explaining the version update. I have made my new version number 2.0.7 as the current version is 2.0.6. I have ensured that the Product Code and Upgrade Code found under the General Information section under Step 1 of the Setup project match those values set in the last update 2.0.6. As a side note, if I change the Product Code here, the result is a Major Update is triggered and then I run into issues with database files being deleted. So I am trying to avoid that. Once the setup project is built, I am grabbing the Install Shield Limited Edition .EXE file that is generated and clicking that to perform the upgrade. This is when I encounter the error and see those errors. I appreciate any help with this especially since I am unable to push out my code update as I am unable to get everything to work correctly. Thank you.

Hello, I am using Install Shield Limited Edition 2013. I have a project with previous upgrade paths listed all of minor incremental updates. 2.04 - 2.0.5 -2.0.6. We are currently on 2.0.6 and I am attempting to push out an update. I can build the project correctly and it installs on a machine without a previous version no problem. I encounter a problem because when I am on a machine with the Older value and I attempt to update to the latest release version (2.0.6.01) I get the following error. "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, user Add/Remove Program on the Control Panel" I thought since the Product Code and Update Code are the same everything would be good to go and as long as I positively incremented the value it would work. It does not and I am unable to push out my update. I know that if I change the Product Code it will work but that makes the update a major update and then I have other problems with certain files being overwritten when they shouldn't and cannot be overwritten. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi KYI, Thank you for the response. I am running into issues with the upgrade process. The only way that I am able to get any update to take is if I change the Product Code. I know that changing the Product Code does in turn equal a Major Release update. If I do not make that change, I encounter an error when the new exe file is clicked. The error states that a product/version already exists on this machine. I have created an Upgrade Paths containing the last Product Version number as well. I must be missing something. I will keep looking. Thank you for your help.

Hello, I took over a WPF project from a consultant and he used InstallShield Limited Edition to build the install package and everything. I have been able to make updates and confirm that the software update works. My problem is that as part of the install there is a database file (.sdf) that is overwritten when I perform an upgrade to the software. I noticed that there is an option to prevent overwriting of the file but that isn't included in the Limited Edition Software version. I am unable to publish my needed update because when the install runs, the older version is uninstalled and the new version is installed which means their database file is deleted on the uninstall and then a new database file is installed which is not good as the user will lose all of their custom entries. I appreciate any help that be given to shed some light on this problem. Is there a way that I can omit that database file from being uninstalled when I upgrade versions of software? Thank you for your help.
