Hi,

my installer should not overwrite a certain.dll if there are some
markers in the dll version resource of the currently installed dll.

1. I understand how to read and test against the file version and set
a property accordingly. But can I do a similar thing with other
information of the version resource of the .dll?

2. I can assume that the .dll that is installed on the system was not
installed by this or an older installer. (I have set the upgrade GUID
so that a complete uninstall has always to be performed upfront.) That
means if the install process encounters a certain .dll it should not
be overwritten. I can assure this by setting NeverOverwrite="yes"
attribute of the .dll installation component.
However at uninstall performed by this installer - the .dll (that this
installer did not install) is removed.
How can I make sure that the .dll does not get uninstalled in that case?

Thanks for any help, ideas or hint where to look,
Best,
Stephan.
