Can I hear from some one?

First of all, this is a USER forum, of people like you, who have other commitments which may prevent an answer being offered immediately you want it. So if your need is that urgent, make a support call to Wise.

Unfortunately, it is NOT clear from the information you have provided, what you are trying to do.

It is clear that you have created an MSI which deploys abc.rdp and creates a shortcut, and this works.

Now you appear to have edited this msi, removing abc.rdp and adding def.vbs, but you have not made it clear whether this is intended as an UPDATE to your first MSI, or you intend it to be a new MSI which is unrelated to the old MSI.

Please clarify this and then we can move forward.

Thanks Sir.

You are always the first to reply me.

Actually first one is RDP file in msi but second one is VB script file that auto launches RDP in some temp directory.

I think it won't be good to say that it is an update because update is something to add on existing one or amending the existing one.

But here we are deleting the first file and putting a new file and both are different in nature. One is RDP and anotehr is VB script file.

Please do let me know If I am missing something while telling you.

also I changed the product version simply double clicked it because if I use same version coz If I install this new msi it says to delete OLD version first.

Regards,

You are trying to install your new MSI without uninstalling your earlier application? That is, you delete the .RDP file in your new MSI and add the new .VBS file? 

You may also check by changing the component code of the component containing the shortcut.

You should not be deleting the RDP file from another MSI - you should either uninstall the first MSI and install a new MSI, or create a true upgrade.
When you created your MSI with the VBS inside, did you start with a new project? If not, you MUST change the Product Code as it is a different product.

If you don't do this, you are going to make unnecessary problems for yourself.

Thanks for your reply.

The last RDP was installed some how through exe and not MSI.

Second thing, while creating a new package, I updated the product version as well.

Problem I am facing is that MSI deploys new script but shortcut remains the same and short cut is not being updated.

Please suggest.

So locate the uninstall string and use that to uninstall the product.

Read Ed's response again. Not 'product version', 'product CODE'.

Thanks for replying back.

I got the point that somehow we need the product code of last RDP file installed.

Also I installed one MSI with version 7.0 and some product code.

Second time I opened first msi, saved it with some different name and in UPGRADES, defined the product code of first msi and changed one file as well in second one.

When I run this then it does not delete the first one [meansfirst msi deployed file] even I have defined the product version of first msi in upgrade scetion of second msi.

Can you please comment on this?

I have read somewhere about Minor and Major release and one needs to change the product version as well as code if there is major release. But if minor release like replacing/adding one or two files then don't need to change product version and code.

Please throw some light on this.

Regards,

There is a help file called MSI.CHM which is installed with Wise. Use that as your reference source, and search on topics such as "Upgrade". This will provide you with the exact specifications of what an upgrade requires.
