Hello people,

i have the following situation:

i have a setup where a component is with "never overwrite" and "Shared" set to "Yes" and it saves a xml file. After the install, i modified that xml and uninstall the product.

the folder with that .xml was not removed.... until that, it's good for me...

but when i make a second install, that .xml is replaced... and i want that the file not be replaced because that one i edit is newer than that one in the setup...

i hope i made myself clear...

somebody can help me?!

thanks

Sounds weired. Did you create a log file of your second install?

hello Stefan,

i understood what you post, but the strange is that i have another setup here (reinstallmode = "amus") that have a component with "never overwrite" set "yes". This component has a .config file and in a second install, this file is not replaced.

"Never overwrite" only checks the key file. If the config file marked as key file of the respective component?
Note that you cannot change the key file selection in a small or minor update though!
