VB installer - How to remove the old version of application, if any, and start installing the new one automatically?

Hi all,

I am using the VB 6.0 and creating an installer package for the same.

I want the installer to remove the previously installed application and continue with the new installation, without the user requirement of clicking the installer again.

Is there any configuration setting that I need to set?

Thanks in advance.
