Question
-
Hi all ,
As mentioned in the title , I have problem with setup & deployment. After I installed application I made some changes , now I want to apply the new changed on the installed version of my application. I tried to modify the setup project with change the version of setup which will cause a product key to change but when I installed the new setup application nothing changed.
- How can I upgrade my application with new changes.
- If there is database and I added new tables how can I install new database without effect the old data
Best Regards
Swalf

Hi Sawlf,
Have you updated the AssemblyFileVersion in the AssemblyInfo file? Try to increase the version number to see whether your application updates.

If you want to preserve old database, you can try this thread editing File using Orca.
