I have a couple products that I'm writing that install portlets and custom views for certain content items. Is there a way for me to flag that a product is being re-installed in the install/uninstall routine? The way it's written now, it installs (adding portlets and views as needed) and uninstalls (removes portlets and resets all views to their defaults prior to installation). What I want is some short of flag that I can set in Extensions/Install.py to flag that it's being reinstalled so that it does not remove the portlets and already set views.

Is there a way to do that?  Any code would be appreciated.  Thanks!

IIRC the install/uninstall methods invoked by the quickinstaller
take an optional argument "reinstall=True" (default false) that
QI (should) use to leave a few things untouched already on reinstall
(available from ZMI). You should be able to check for that flag
and have it set when you invoke 'reinstall' in ZMI.
