My installer is working quite nicely now for the initial installation. In thinking about my upgrade strategy, I've decided to distribute so-called "small updates" as reinstalls of an updated .msi. However, I have two components (my app config file and the component that writes user settings to the config file) that I do not want to install when I am installing an update, since I don't want to overwrite the user's settings with a new, blank config file. How do I condition my components to not be installed on a reinstall? Is adding the following element to the two components sufficient?
<Condition>NOT Installed</Condition> Is there another, more efficient way of accomplishing this that I'm missing? I'm not sure I want to travel down the road of creating "patch" files, and the Windows Installer docs seemed to indicate this was an appropriate approach. --Jim Evans Numara Software, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
