You could try updating the Assembly version to for example 2.0.0.0 instead of only the name. You can achieve this in the 'Application' tabpage of your project properties, and then click on the 'Assembly Information ...' button.

Did you changed the GUID in AssemblyInfo? Are you publishing it by creating a setup file or just by using the Publish from VS itself? If you do this by creating a setup file, then you need to change Product code and Upgrade Code of the Setup project properties.
