visual studio 2013 - Modify existing setup for Office Add-In -


i have created couple of com-addins ms excel , ms visio using visual studio 2013. runs planned.

as living project, have update code when change stuff. have create new setup files , redistribute them team members install on machine. problem is, every time have uninstall previous version before installing new version have provided. there way when run setup file, ask whether "repair" or "modify" existing installation not have uninstall previous version every time?

i used "install shield" in visual studio create setup file.

any appreciated.

one way make every build able perform major upgrade (uninstall old + install new) on installed build. you'd add entry in upgrade table make happen - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372379(v=vs.85).aspx

the upgrade table entry like:

upgradecode        minversion maxversion language attributes remove actionproperty <your upgradecode> null       null       null     1          null   old_product_found
