New Post: Delete the existing app before trying to Add application

Hi Pavan,

Have you run through the Deployment Framework tutorial and gotten a good understanding of the manual process before using scripting? You can find it here. There is also information on the upgrade process here.

In the scenario you describe, the process to deploy for the first time is:

1. Install First application
2. Deploy First application
3. Install Second application (this can be swapped with #2 if desired)
4. Deploy Second application
   

To upgrade Second application:

1. Undeploy Second application
2. Uninstall Second application
3. Install Second application (can be combined w/ #2 if you change the ProductID and increment ProductVersion in the .btdfproj for the new MSI)
   

To upgrade First application:

1. Undeploy Second application
2. Uninstall Second application
3. Undeploy First application
4. Uninstall First application
5. Install First application
6. Deploy First application
7. Install Second application
8. Deploy Second application
   

When you change ProductID and ProductVersion for the new MSI's you can slightly shorten it to:

1. Undeploy Second application
2. Undeploy First application
3. Install First application
4. Install Second application
5. Deploy First application
6. Deploy Second application
