Hi Brian, Cant we create custom action which can run before installing anything. using simple copy command for the backup process of existing files. (i guess this way back up of existing files can be taken)
But, my major concern is to how can make msi which wont do any changes at all in Registry. I understand about feature to Hide the entry of package in Add/Remove Program , but this is not wht i want. I want Add/Remove programme not to be updated at all Or registry. So my question is that can we make Msi package which will not update system registry or ARP.... Thanks.
