Hi, In my installer, I ask a few questions which are used to modify an INI file in my application directory (yeah, I know I should not, and I'm trying to discuss those out, but still I'm interested in a solution). This is a java application, therefore I can't (don't want) to use the registry.
The problem is, that (as far as I understood), I can't use IniFileSearch because the ini file is in my app directory. So, since I can't read out the old value, I thought about skipping the component (see below) during upgrade. The entries would not be written and everything would be fine. <Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='MyClient'> <Component Id="My_Ini_Write" Guid="{DC752365-A598-4B76-AC70-C99BF34D539F}"> <CreateFolder /> <IniFile Id="Ini1" Action="addLine" Directory="INSTALLDIR" Section="Global" Name="My.ini" Key="FOOManagerAliveInterval" Value="[FOO_TIMEOUT]" /> <IniFile Id="Ini2" </Component> But how can I do this? thanks, Markus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
