Setup Project Another version already installed error

When we make changes or update in windows forms or winforms application and create setup project to reinstall the application, we get below mentioned error.

Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version can not continue.
To configure or remove theexisting version of this product use Add/Remove programs on the control panel.
