If by "the update" you're meaning a major update then you can avoid the component being reinstalled by scheduling RemoveExistingProducts late - one of the latter 2 options here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371197%28v=vs.85%29 .aspx Components that exist in both the old and new installers are not reinstalled.

I am experiencing an issue where a network share created with util:FileShare is overwriting post install added members to the Share Permissions DACL. The components look like this for the GA install: <Fragment> <DirectoryRef Id="CLIENT_RESOURCES"> <Component Id="resourcedir_fileshare" Guid="D2DAED14-E4E3-4405-8C0A-D26E9144793B" SharedDllRefCount="yes"> <CreateFolder /> <util:FileShare Name="Resources" Id="ResourceDirectoryShare" Description="IC Resources Folder"> <util:FileSharePermission GenericAll="yes" User="Administrators" CreateChild="yes" CreateFile="yes" DeleteChild="yes" /> <util:FileSharePermission GenericRead="yes" User="Everyone" GenericExecute="yes" ReadPermission="yes" ReadExtendedAttributes="yes" /> </util:FileShare> </Component> </DirectoryRef> </Fragment> These do not change during minor updates but when the update is applied any additional permissions that have been added are lost. I attempted to add Conditions to the components but to only run when "Not Installed" is true but that didn't resolve the issue. The only solution I can think of is a custom action that creates a cache of the share information and later restores it. I searched the bugs on sourceforge and do not see a specific one for this issue. Any and all help is appreciated. Regards, Jon W.
