Delete later versions in setup project (msi)

Hi

Is it possible to delete later versions in an msi

My problem lies here. At first our program was in ver. 0.x.x. But then when we enabled RemovePreviousVersions it wouldn't install because version was not between 1.0.0 and current version.

To enable this, the current programmer gave it versionnumber 100.x.x. Now the program has became 1.2 - but in the setup it says 101.2.

Is there any way i can write in the setup project to uninstall the installed version, regardless that it's version is 10x.x and the software im trying to install is only 1.2.
I hope somebody has some input - true or false.

    Is this issue resolved

    Do you have the DetectNewerInstalledVersions property True in your project properties

    I have not solved the issue.

    Our product is still 10x.x.x. I havent investigated it much though. The product is only used internal, and as such the version number is not that important.

    Would still like to know though, if it is possible to set an option like "install instead of any version".

    Yes, and that will not solve the problem... Only tell me a newer version is installed and that i can't continue...
