Hi,

 

I read the WiX Tutorial from http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ and there are 
some things I didn't understand or couldn't find and as I read that this is the 
best place for questions, I'll write them here, but for an easier followup I 
will write each question into a separat email. I appreciate your answers/help.

When I install my application, along with the binaries, in the same directory a 
conf file is placed that the user can change as he needs.
I would like for this conf file to not be deleted (or overwritten) when we do a 
major upgrade, but only when we remove the application completely from the 
computer, b/c otherwise the user needs to do the right settings in the conf 
file every time after an upgrade.
In other words, for this conf file, I would like to have the following 
behaviour: when the product is upgraded (major upgrade which means first 
uninstall old version meaning deleting all installed files and then install a 
new version) the conf file should NOT be deleted  or overwritten. But if the 
user uninstalls our product, for instance from add/remove program, then b/c I 
want to clean everything I would like that conf file to be deleted. How could I 
have this behaviour?

 

TIA,
Viv
