Visual Studio 2010 setup wizard repair or remove feature

Question

I have a Setup wizard project created for my Forms Application. So whenever i modify the version number and rebuild my setup wizard project and try to install, it gives me this Popup - "Another version of this product is already installed, installation cannot continue. Go to Control Panel Add/Remove programs" Instead of this above behaviour i want to have a "Remove / Repair" feature for my Setup. How can i do this. I have set DetectNewerInstalledVersion= true.

If you want to do a major upgrade (which is the only update method supported by VS setup projects) this still applies:

with the addition that now you must update files versions of files that need replacing.

You get Repair/Remove by running the same MSI file again, with the same version etc, but I suspect that's not what you want - it repairs the existing product and doesn't use the new MSI you built.
