Hi
where from I can get good deployment guide for Visual Studio 2005 windows
applications

Some questions

1. When Installing application which is already installed, there is an error
that I need
first remove the existing, how I can just overwrite it?
2. I need to deploy on existing deployment something like Service Pack
How can it be done, need to create MSI.


Thank you

VS2005 has setup projects.
Setup project create MSI.
In the project property you have a "version number" property, which you
should increment with each new installer.
and there is an "uninstall previous version" which you should set to true
(but it would work only if you increment version number as specified above).
