I'm having a senior moment with what seemed like a pretty simple and well established concept in windows installer: don't uninstall user data.
I created a very simple installer with a single component / file ( test.txt ). I tested with test.txt as the key file and with no key file ( directory). In the test (on a clean VM of course ) I wanted to see if uninstall would leave the file behind after I had modified the file to contain user data. Despite the creation data and modification date of the file being different, MSI always uninstalled the file. I'm a little puzzled as I didn't expect this. Am I forgetting something? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
