Someone else told me to set the RemovePreviousVersions to true and increment
the version # in the setup project properties. I tried and the installer
ran sucessfully and removed the older version. However, the newer version
doesn't show up in GAC until I do a "repair" of the install... Just so you
know.
Thanks
