Upgrading installation on windows

[ilacc1]

Hello team,

Scenario: A user has a previous version of my application installed and want to install new version. Since I use winConfig.removeOldLibs, the old jars in the libs directory are cleaned up and replaced with new versions.

The issue: My main application jar was installed in the app home / installation root and is not removed when installing over the previous version. Further, even in the presence of the new jar (e.g. higher version number in jar file name), app launcher (exe) always uses the old jar.

What is the recommended solution? Can I move the main application jar to libs (how?) ? Or perhaps main jar shouldn't have a version so it gets overwritten? Or is there an option to completely uninstall previous versions before installing?

To me, the option to auto-uninstall previous version would be preferable in my case as all user data & preferences are stored in user's home

Many thanks

Changed ini.vtl to read:

classpath.1=${info.jarFile.name}

instead of

classpath.1=*.jar

As all other jars are in libs, this works. It's not ideal to keep old versions of the jar, but at least we run the correct version after upgrade.
