Currently packaging and distributing the beta version of our software
internally.

Included a Setup1 project in my application which correctly installs the
application.

I am more than a little confused on the DetectNewerInstalledVersion and
RemovePreviousVersion properties in the setup project. What version number is
being referenced here, my application's assembly version or the version
number of the setup1 project?

The assembly version in my application is left at the default 1.0.* to
autoincrement with each build. Currently the debug version is 1.0.3496.15661.

The Setup1 project version is 1.0.0.

I'm guessing that I need to change the Setup1 project version number but
would welcome any clarification of this.

Thanks,

Mike

Then you will have better success if you post to a dotNet newsgroup. That's
where the majority of users of the .Net Framework development platform hang
out. The appropriate groups all have ".dotnet." or ".vsnet." in the title.
In this case "microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.setup" would be the
appropriate group, but it isn't as heavily trafficked as perhaps
"microsoft.public.dotnet.general"
or one of the language groups.
