Hi,
One can install two cabs in the same path, \\Program Files\\myapppath
\.
By that with the second cab u can replace files and add new as well.
So by making your second cab (pacth) name different and not allowing
its entry in the remove/installed programs u can achieve the same
thing.
However make sure that the setup.dll from the first cab removed all
the files from the above path.
