RemovePreviousVersions bug--workaround



This post is for the Google archive and requires no response.

I ran into a problem with the RemovePreviousVersions property not working in
VS.NET (VS 2005) Setup projects, even though the version number and the
product and upgrade codes were set correctly.

It turns out that in VS.NET, the RemovePreviousVersions property does not
recognize version numbers less than 1.0. So 0.8 alpha and 0.9 beta versions
won't be replaced by a later version. There is more information in this
post:
