Is this done with scripts or what??? any examples???

you can create an install batch that first removes the old versions then installs the new and zip that with the install files, attach to you MI distribution and do it that way.
To uninstall if you have multiple versions you should be able to use wmic to uninstall old version by calling the name of the software. Should look something like. You can also get the uninstall calls from the software inventory and run the uninstalls like

Thanks for the quick response SMal
Do you mean building a script to execute a batch file zipped with the exe file? Not experienced with scripting much...
Could you give me an example of a script that would run that sequence ......uninstall then install..
Do I put the WMIC command in a batch file?? if so.. then do I put the install command switches after the wmic command on the same batch file??? then Zip them up as a dependency in the script........
Sigh.....sorry for being such a pain friend..
