Migration FAQ Update
We added this to the Migration FAQ today, prefacing the existing entry about CAB files on Windows Mobile 5.0:
On Windows Mobile 5.0, any attempt to reinstall an application will prompt the user to remove the existing installation first. This prompt is a change from previous versions of Pocket PC that left the existing installation intact during reinstallation. If you build a .cab file to patch or upgrade an application, be sure to package a .cab file that maintains its own unique install information (for example, unique AppName) to avoid removing the existing program components.

Can you provide any more detailed guidance on this? What I've found is that if you change the AppName you end up with several different installs of the same (or similar) products. Why was this changed? It was working very well before.
