MSI  to automtically uninstall  previous

Asked by garyinmiami2003 in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Visual Studio .NET 2005

Tags: VB.net

I have a windows app that is a class library having a com class.  This app need to be installed on each desktop.  I have had no trouble creating an msi.  The problem is to get it to work the way I need:

I need the msi to do 2 things it does not do at the moment:
1)  Automaticall uninstall the previous version without asking the installer
2)  Automatically install it for anyone who is using the machine not just who is doing the install and do it without asking (no dialog box)

I am using VS 2005 version 8.   Framework  2.0
