    1. In Visual Studio select your Setup project within the Solution Explorer
    2. Open the Properties Window
      • don’t right click and select properties.
      • select View – Properties Window
    3. set RemovePreviousVersions to true
    4. increment the version to a higher number
    5. select yes in the upcoming message box

    If you built and deploy this new setup, a setup with an older version number will be deleted.

    Important: the setup version number is completely independent from your application or assembly version number!
