Hi,

How to don't overwrite a file if this file exist (same name) ? My file don't have a version number but it is different from the old.

I try to use "Never Overwrite" property to Yes (components), but after the installation, the old file is overwriteen.

Thanks in advance.

Is this a Major Upgrade?
Did you generate a log file?

It's a major upgrade.

It's a part of my log File :

Why the is "Overwrite" in the log file whereas I have the property in the projet at Yes (Nerver overwrite).

I have InstallShield 2008.

Thanks.

I want to specify it's an update but the first install is not a MSI Project.

Setting the component for CAR.CDX to "never overwrite" also requires that CAR.CDX os the key file of this component.

[daner06]

Ok thanks, that right.
