>>I used VFP 6.0 Setup wizard to create a Network setup for me that our users can run from the network to load the application on their own PC. Now I have updated the exe and have run setup again to place the new version out on the network. I wish to inform the user that a new exe is available. I noticed that the setup program registered my application in the users Add/Remove program in the control panel and when they run that it comes up with a screen that will allow them to Add/Remove or Reinstall or Uninstall. I want this to be as easy as possible so I tried the reinstall and noticed that everything, but my exe was updated (my ini files and config.fpw files were updated). The reinstall seems to be what I would like to do but it does not refresh my exe with the new version. I know I can do an uninstall and have them to a install and that works, but that causes them to reboot and find the setup again on the network and run it again. Is there any better method of getting a new
>>version down to my pc users when I update the exe. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I do have version build and auto increment on and still the reinstall option of the add/remove programs does not refresh my exe when I run setup.
