is possible make setup project in visual studio *does not install* upgrades app exists on user's disk ? example: user has version 1.1 of product , want send em setup / installer upgrades 1.1 1.2 ?

sure. first create installer new version.
if old version installed msi package:
- find old msi upgradecode
- after building new msi open orca
- go "property" table , set upgradecode of old msi
- this way new package should automatically uninstall old one
if installed custom package:
- in new package add custom action removes old version (for example launches old version uninstaller or manually deletes application resources)
- make sure custom action runs before "installinitialize" action in "installexecutesequence" table (you can edit action sequence orca)
