Updating existing software package with Advanced Installer

Question

I have created an Installation Package using Advanced Installer.

How can I implement following features

If I install a software, and then install a newer version of the same software A.msi,I want the older version to automatically get uninstalled and overwritten.

2.If the framework for eg framework 4.0 or 3.5 does not exist,it should give a message to user to download it from the right location.

Please help

Thanks

1) Its the default configuration in all projects you create with Advanced Installer, of course as long as you increase your product version. The next article has more details about upgrades: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/upgrades.html

2) This is a standard prerequisite, which you can select from our list of predefined ones. Just select the version you want and Advanced Installer will handle the rest for you. More details about prerequisites here: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/prerequisites.html
