If the installer installs the files, it'll remove them. The best practice is not to install editable files - it leads to all manner of trouble. Generate them (or duplicate them from installed, read-only copies) from the application whenever they are missing, if that is possible.

If the user has edited these I want them to remain on the machine after uninstall. Is this possible via WIX?
