>>Hello,

>>AFter creating a new setup (using Installshield express for VFP) with a new version of an executable, I get the following problem:
>>When running the setup on a computer where the old version of the executable has been installed already, Installshield gives me the message "Another version of this product is already installed. Setup cannot continue..."
>>The setup forces me to first uninstall the existing version and then it could install the new version.

>>What do I need to do in order to avoid this? I cannot force the users to uninstall first before applying an upgrade.
>>Thanks for your help in advance!

Could be a solution, but requires two CD's: one for existing installations, another for new terminals. Not so nice, but works.
