I have 2 applications that share 3 files between them. When I uninstall one of them I would like those 3 files to stay, so that the other application works. How would I do this?

Make sure the component id used is the same (Windows Installer keeps a usage count based on component guid). The best way would probably to put them in a erge module, and merge this to the two setups.
The other option would be to mark these components as permanent, in which case they will never be removed.
