Hi,
We have come up with the new version of the product which is authored in the Installshield 10.5. The older version was authored IS in 6.3.
We have to support the upgrade from the older version to the newer version. How can we do the upgrade that too a clean one.


Any help is very much appreciated.
Regards,
vishal

You should call the uninstall command for the old version (as it is stored in registry) from the script of your new version.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Uninstall\ and then either the product name or a guid (not sure which of these was used in IS6).
