Hi, As part of a setup logic, I need to leave behind a big chunk of resources on disk at uninstall. The resources are data files and I have been asked to leave them behind at uninstall. When the setup is run again on the machine where this data is left behind, the user has the option to use the existing data (so it will not get installed again) or install the data (over write the data or install it to a new location).
Can someone recommend the approach I should take to solve this? * A feature that installs this data. Hide the feature at uninstall so that it doesn't get removed. But this orphans components and could potentially cause issues, correct? * Set the component bit(msidbComponentAttributesPermanent) to not uninstall to every component of the data feature (there are MANY components for this data - so I am worried about this) * Install data to a different location all the time. Copy the data to the data location based on the user choice (Using a custom action) Thanks!
