Reinstallation of application (Crystal Reports problem?)

[Anna_Panna]

In the deployment project, when setting the RemovePreviousVersions property to True, and installing a new version of my software, and then clicking on the automatically created shortcut, the application reinstalls itself.

If first manually uninstalling the previous version of my application, and then installing the new version, the shortcut works ok.

I have Crystal Reports merge moduls included in my deployment project, and if removing these ones, the shortcut also works fine.

I have been given the advice to use ORCA and do the following:

1. Open the .msi file
2. GoTo Property
3. Shoose Tables/AddRow
4. Property: DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS
5. Value: true
6. Save

This helps in the way that the shortcut starts to work, but when opening my crystal reports, the installation program starts again.....

I have been comparing dll:s in folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin and not found any changes between my two application versions. (I do not believe that I have changes my merge modules, but I am not sure.....)

Can anyone help me with this???

Or... Do anyone know how to log what happens during the installation process?
