Not Uninstalling Anymore on 6.1 App builder

I have a VI that I have been turning into an application. When I would build a new app and install, it would uninstall first.

Now, for some reason, it does not uninstall previously installed apps but just adds to them. Is there a setting in the application builder that controls this?

Hi,

If you do want to uninstall the old executable, then you want to make sure that you are NOT generating a new product code every time you ubild a new executable. When you are in the Application Builder >> Installer Settings >> Properties, make sure that you are keeing the same product code (do not press the product code Generate button). The old executable should now uninstall first before installing the new executable.

For more information, refer to KB 2LJBQPO9. New Installer Uninstalling Old LabVIEW Built Executable Before Installing Newer Versio....
