Hi,

 My project is of basic msi type.I have create a executable in exe format and installed.

But for some minor changes i have upgrade setup and run exe again in that case exe reinstall same components but uninstall custom folder

that were created when application run.

For example:

 

First i installed application have one component that include following folder:

1.lib

2.src

 

now i run my application and application create some file and now in destination following folder exist:

1.lib

2.src

3.file(created by application)

 

because of some changes i create minor upgarde and installed exe again on same location and that installed following components:

1.lib

2.src

and remove .file(created by application)

 

why this problem occur deletion of file file(created by application) folder

 

Please suggest.

Check the RemoveFile table in your msi, maybe there's an entry to delete the folder. Or generate a log during the update to see who/what is deleting the folder.

Thank you  for quick reply.

There is no entry of delete folder in RemoveFile table.

I have also trying with XCOPY for copying folder that also include subfolders command but it's failed.

 

XCopyFile ("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\TISWebRTMService\\RTMServer\Common\\DTCOData","C:\\Sanjeev", COMP_UPDATE_DATE | INCLUDE_SUBDIR);

 

it throws -2147024894 error
