wont the same file be overwritten when the installer copies the files ? here's my scenario..
I have file a.txt as a blank file being installed in the first msi. I installed this blank file because I needed this file to be removed upon uninstall and removeFile element wasnt working for me. This a.txt file will be modified to contain some entries. I want to preserve these entries when the upgrade installation happens. My question is, the upgrade installation also will contain a blank a.txt because its a new installation for anyone who hasnt installed previous msi. So I need to copy over the earlier a.txt AFTER the upgrade install is done. Right ? Otherwise wont it again replace the a.txt with the blank a.txt in the upgrade installation ? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/changes-to-support-upgrades-help-tp7589169p7589269.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
