Hello Everyone,

 

I found tons of answers to this problem, but I have a hard time believing
that CA's are the best way to resolve this.  I am far from being a WIX
expert so I would appreciate a second opinion on this one.

 

I have an application that generates configuration files during execution, I
want to preserve these files on upgrades and completely remove them on a
full uninstall.

 

Using and RemoveFile and RemoveFolder  I am able to completely remove all
the application generated files, if I add an execution condition to my
component something like

<Condition>REMOVE="ALL" AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Condition>

The files never get uninstalled. 

 

Are properly sequenced CA's backing up and restore files the correct way of
preserving files, or is there a "more" WIX way of doing this????

 

Thanks for your expert opinion,

Marc
