Hi,

I made a basic msi which installed fine and working fine. I am using windows xp sp 3.
Now if I try to perform the major upgrade in that msi I ended up doing nothing.

my requirements are:
if it is first time installation then it install in a normal way.
if it is already installed on my machine then it first uninstall the existing product then install the new one.

Please mention in step because I am new to installshield.
I am using installshield 2010.

Thanks..

This link shows how to create major upgrade - http://www.viddler.c...n3271/videos/2/

However, why do you want to upgrade only using major upgrade? don't you prefer to use minor upgrade instead of uninstalling the application each time?
