Hey All,

I am working on windows application. To know whether the application is used for the first time I am using Application property bool by default value is false and when application executes its became true as
Properties.Settings.Default.FirstTime = true; Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

But when i am creating setup next time (means second time from visual studio) still the value of FirstTime is True.I want to make it default value i.e False when every time I create new setup. This is not happening

I want to restore the Application Setting FirstTime to false whenever I create new setup

If you have suggestion please let me know

my guess is your Setup doesn't update the app.config - and for most usecases it shouldn't (users don't want the Settings reset after an update?) - have a look at the file Settings in your setup-Project (If you tell which tech you use maybe I could help with a more specific advice) msi? clickonce InstallShield?
