Hi All,

Using D7 and Indy 9, I have a THttpServer that supports a
thick client program.  The client program is sent to customers
and I want to provide an automatic update service, like MS
does with WinXP.  

I've used the InstallShield Express version that ships with
D7 to create a 'setup.exe' file.  That works fine, but if I try to
install over a previous version, WinXP objects.  The user is
forced to uninstall the previous version, though it seems the
user can uninstall the previous one AFTER installing the
new version!

My question is this.  How can I make my thick client D7/Indy9
program uninstall the previous version, and install the new
version?  

Or is that impractical in practice?  Should I just download and
store a new .exe over the old one?  Is there a way to do that?

Suggestions appreciated,
Rich
