Install and update SB setups

[NewsArchive]

I have separate installers, a full install and an update install.

1) How can I stop the app update setup from running if the user does not
have the app initially installed?
2) How can I warn the user when the app full install setup is run and the
user already has the app installed?

If you have the Add/Remove Programs Support option enabled in the "General
Information" Visualizer, you can use "Detect Previous Version..." to find
out if the program is installed.

Here is some pseudo-code (see attached screenshot).

Hope this helps.

Thanks Friedrich.

Where your script says "you_GUID_goes-here" is that the PRODUCTGUID or the
UPGRADEGUID?

Neither seem to make any difference, the install runs without comment.

See attached screenshot. Please specify the "Product GUID" of your initial
install.
