Upgrading from 3.1.x does not remove old version. #204

Closed hecon5 closed 3 years ago

See joyfullservice#203: Originally posted by @cameo69 in https://github.com/joyfullservice/msaccess-vcs-integration/discussions/203

The installer does not remove prior versions for pre-3.3.x versions. I suspect this may be related to, but not caused by changing the Addin Links in joyfullservice#158.

@cameo69: one more question, when you opened the old version, did it open the new file, or the old one?

I suspect two things are happening here: The old menu item is / was linked to the prior file, and the new menu items are pointing to the file that has its own folder (as the addin was moved to its own VCS folder in bc0a522.

The installer doesn't (or can't?) check the other file location due to permissions (or it forgot); this leaves the old file there.

Not sure I understand the question.

When 3.1.56 was installed, I opened "Version Control.accda" from the zip downloaded from git-hub releases. Here is the process, the situation I could revert easily by uninstalling 3.3.1 and reinstalling 3.1.56

Thank you for providing the detailed steps of how this happened! Let me do some testing to see if I can reproduce it on my side...

I was able to reproduce the issue on my computer, and pushed an update to the dev branch. After this gets pushed out to master, you should be able to remove the legacy version by doing the following:

  1. Install version 3.1.56
  2. Install version 3.3.1

At that point you should only see the current menu items.

We are getting close to releasing another update to the master branch, but if you want to fix it now, you can check out the project and build the dev branch from source, and open Version Control.accda to install the latest dev version.
