Windows App installation without un-install any previous version.

[SeanKim]

Hi,

Recently, I've seen one of the changelogs for the App Studio 4.4 which can be install a new Windows app without un-install as like below link shown.

What's new in AppStudio—ArcGIS AppStudio | Documentation

Anyway, my build couldn't do that, and I can confirm that I am currently using 4.4.77 to cloud make.

Is there any option to set it?

Thanks,

Sean.

@SeanKim 

Did you enable the appinfo.json property "desktop.allowOverwrite"? https://doc.arcgis.com/en/appstudio/extend-apps/editappinfo.htm 

"desktop.allowOverwrite" —This property is added under deployment. If set to true, the app can be installed on Windows without uninstalling a previous version of the app.

We did not enable this feature by default since it is only working on Windows. 

Thank you,

Erwin.

Thanks Erwin,

I have added an allowOverwrite under deployment and works perfect!

Thanks for your help.
