Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall fonts?
The correct way to handle this scenario is to have the Component in all the products with the same Guid. The Windows Installer will only remove the Component when all products that use it are gone.

Ok... that's my fault. I forgot to put a guid on the component containing the fonts. Interestingly enough - it built successfully without warning me (I had Guid=) and installed them properly, but didn't remove them. Is this the recommended way to convince the installer to install something but not remove it? I'm assuming it isn't. This is the behavior I want, however, since my application must work with several versions installed side-by-side, and I don't want someone removing an older version to cause the newer versions to lose the fonts.

Does Wix uninstall fonts that were installed by a Wix-based installer? It seems like it doesn't. I understand it's probably not a good idea to uninstall fonts, since there's no refcounting behavior for them. I just want to make sure it really doesn't uninstall them and I'm not just seeing things. Kelly ** This communication is intended solely for the addressee and is confidential.

[WiX-users] Uninstall fonts?
Does Wix uninstall fonts that were installed by a Wix-based installer? It seems like it doesn't.
