Hi to everybody

i would like my installer to have the following behaviour:

if (legacy application found){
replace_existing_files_with_new_ones
(keeping the same directory structure)
}
else{
clean_msi_installation
}

How can i give this direction to windows installer? What changes must be made in the InstallExecuteSequence table?

thanks,

Nestoras

You need to detect the existing directory structure e.g. using AppSearch, and then insert custom actions of type set-a-directory to change the destination directories of your components. You need to specify diffferent directory identifiers for your components if you want to move them around independently.
