Hi!
I'm developing my first app in VB.NET using VS2005. I'm using the Settings designer feature for saving some settings. As I understad, these setting are saved into a .config file. User can then change some of these settings.
For deployment I created a Setup project. When testing deployment I found out that the settings are back to default after installing a newer version of app. I set up the setup project to uninstall the previous version before installing a new one. I guess the .config file is also replaced with the one that comes with the new version of app, so the settings that user changed using previous version are lost. Am I right? Is there a way to solve this? Perhaps some settings on the setup project?
Thanks for any tip
