We have an old project whose installer was built using VS. I need to
replace one of the files, so I want to create an installer with WIX
which just installs a single file. The "hotfix" installer I've created
works fine when installed, but when it gets uninstalled, it removes the
file. I'd like it to replace the file that it updated when uninstalled
with the original, but I'm not sure how to accomplish that.

 

A couple of questions:

1)      Is there any way to mark a <File> or <Component> such that it
does not get uninstalled when you uninstall the product?

2)      Is there a way to tie my wxs to another product and version
such that if the other product gets uninstalled, the hotfix
automatically gets uninstalled as well?
