Detect Previous Add-In Version
 

I'm looking for advice and/or code examples on detecting and removing a
previous add-in version. The previous version would be open at the time the
user installs the new version.

Questions:

Is it better to store/use the version number in the file name or somewhere
on a worksheet (or somewhere else)?

Is there anything problematic with this practice?

Thanks in advance for any help!

If you used a job-specific installer, you could have script that asks for
Excel to be closed down, and will install over the old version.
