[Interest] [interest][QT Installer Framework] how to overwrite or reinstall with existing app

[Jenssen Tim]

At the moment this feature is not there. We disabled that in the past because it resulted in strange bugreports while Qt is installed.

I would vote here https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTIFW-401

but even an installer configuration about how the target exists dialog behaves should be possible.

you specify a different PATH while installing if you like both of the versions to be kept.
e.g
C/Qt/5.1
C/Qt/5.2
etc

Hi Sujan,

Thanks for the reply.

If uninstalling is the only solution, is there any way to invoke it at the beginning of installation process? Sorry I am new to QT installer framework, so please give me some guidance. Thanks.

regards,

Hi All,

I created an offline installer file for windows using QT Installer Frame work.

After installation succeeded, I tried to execute the installation file again. However an error message "The folder you selected already exists and contains an installation. Choose a different target for installation" would be given and installation would fail.

I would like the installer to overwrite or re-install my application if executed multiple times. I haven't figured out how to do that. Could anyone shed some light on it? Thank you very much.

Regards,
Peter
