Hello, By default, Windows Installer never deletes files it doesn't know of (user files). So how is this accomplished in v1.0.0?

Subject: [WiX-users] Prevent file deletion duting upgrade Hello, I have the case below: 1. product.msi 1.0.0 deletes all files (even created by user) on uninstallation 2. product.msi 1.0.1 (RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize" />) How to prevent particular file deletion on 1.0.0 uninstallation. Maybe it is possible to read file content (text) to the property before RemoveExistingProducts action and then recreate it? What is the biggest content size which I can set to the propery? -- Konstantin Vlasenko ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
