LaserDrive

Thanks everyone. It seemed to work. And installing the 2007 discs which I just received last week solved the locking up problem. Now it's back to user errors.

ugh. now the Project Explorer freezes every time I create a new Build. I got it to build, but when it tries to update the "Build Specification" in explorer, it croaks. Any tips while I'm here?

Are you sure you creating a new installer from scratch, or are you copying an older installer? An installer generates a quasi-random code that is installed in the registry, so when you try to install the same app again (or upgrade it) it knows that it's already installed.

I used the same project and renamed it using a "save-as"; then I renamed all of the target info by right-clicking the .exe and installer builds and changing everything in there.

If I read you right, I can delete both builds and simply create new ones to solve my problem?

I am creating a new Installer for an executable that is a modified version of an exsisting program. It installs it as an upgrade instead of a new program. I changed all the file names both for the vi's and the project, as well as changed all the target file names in the project build properties and it still uninstalls/upgrades the old one. I need both versions to function on the same computer. What am I missing?
