I need to constantly release a new executable with modifications to send to the end user.
The Set-UP Projects Properties are set to 

RemovePreviousVersion = True
DetectNewerInstalledVersion = True

When I release a new build, I increment the Version
AND change the Product Code.

(Since I am using Visual Studio 2010 – when you increment the Version it automatically changes the product code, but I’ve tried to change it manually also).

When the build is done – the previous version doesn’t uninstall.

The settings are below:

Set-up Project Properties in visual studio 2010 ultimate

EDIT:
After some more research I’ve found that fileVersion of the project also needs to be increased. I’ve done so in the AssemblyInfo.cs

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.0.0.2")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("0.0.0.2")]

Both versions were 0.0.0.1 .
After rebuilding – same issue.

Any ideas on how to get this work?

    I have run into this also. What I found is the change has to be something greater than a change of the Revision Number. At the Minimum it needs to be the Build.

    Major Version.Minor Version.Build Number.Revision

    So in Your Case:

    [assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.0.2.0")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("0.0.2.0")]
