You can set the File's parent Component's "Permanent" attribute to "yes",
which I think accomplishes what you are trying to do.

Hi,
How do I have WiX install a file, but then leave it behind when the app is
uninstalled?
E.g. this is my file:
<File Id="MyConfig.XML" Name=" MyConfig.XML " Source="Startup\ MyConfig.XML
" />
As it changes and will contain important data, I don't want the uninstaller
to actually remove it.
I know that goes against the concept of an uninstall... :)
Thanks
RW
