Visual Studio Installer (Vs6) -
Hi,
i am having some trouble with the Visual Studio installer. I have an Application(vb6) with a Database and Several other files i packed into a MSI installer which works really good. I tested it on several XP,2k, Vista Machines sofar and its runs pretty smooth everywhere always producing a 100% working installation without any errors.
But one thing i cant understand and i cant even find any infos about it...when i change something in the Apppath the installer will come up again. Example:
I made a backup of the Database and want to restore it...i copy my BackupDB over the original DB-File in apppath and when i start the application the installer will come up and install the original database again. I made an update to the exe and replaced it, when i now start the new version the installer will start automaticly and replace the new version with the original version from the installer pakage. Is there ANY way to get rid of this? I want to make updates whenever i want without the need of a new installer and i want to copy a databse backup without the installer messing everything up after the restore.
I have the problem on XP sp1,sp2 and Win2k.
Maybe somone knows whats going on there.
thx
