Is there a way to prevent the removal of an entire virtual directory tree if a
sibling directory exists at uninstall time?
My install requires a virtual directory structure X/Y/Z/WebServices and creates
it as necessary.
The physical location for X is C:\X, Y is C:\X\Y, Z is C:\X\Y\Z and WebServices
is C:\Program Files\X\Y\Z\WebServices.
Other applications share the X and Y virtual and physical directories, so it's
likely that we also have X/Y/Z_2 and X/Y/Z_3 virtual directories.
On uninstall, I only want to remove the virtual directories that aren't being
used by other applications, i.e. start from the leaf and delete only while
there are no children. If I install X/Y/Z/WebServices and another app is using
X/Y/Z_1, when my app is uninstalled I only want to remove the X/Y/Z/WebServices
and X/Y/Z virtual directories, leaving the X/Y/Z_1 intact.
With my current package, the entire vdir tree is removed, obliterating the vdir
of the other app that isn't being uninstalled.
My package uses WiX V2.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
