Hi all,
hopefully my last newbie issue for some time (all previous issues have been
resolved thanks to the
great help from this list - thanks again!):
I deploy a CA "CA_CopyMasterIni" to copy a configuration file template from
location A to location B
if my customer's IT dept. has dropped one in location A prior to installing my
MSI.
This works as expected.
However, as this process is optional I always need to install a default
template file (as shown
below).
The issue is that InstallFiles happens after my CA and thus the customer
provided template gets
overwritten if it was supplied. I had added NeverOverwrite="yes" to the
template component in hopes
that this would prevent this overwriting but it does not...
If I change sequences in the InstallExecute table and push my CA after
InstallFiles, the CA does not
run.
How can I achieve my goal?
As always, thanks for any pointers,
K.
