So I made a different (seperate) component for each of the files that I need checked.
It appears that if I "re-install" version 2.0 on top of version 2.0, the check for "never overwrite" works.
However, it still appears that it overwrites version 1.0. Now I notice that under the Never overwrite selection, it says "Installer uses the components "Key file" to determine if the file should be copied" The key file for my components is the file within the component, so, could it be that the previous version wasn't labeled as a key file? hence the newer version overwrites it?
It seems to me that I shouldn't have to write a script to backup and copy my files (this is my last resort). That file protection should be a built in and common thing when building packages.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for the reply David.
