A new folder is not created when a application upgrade
A newly added folder(there is a xml file inside this folder) is not created when the software upgrade. But when doing a clean installation without upgrade, there is no issue with folder creation.
file's "Always overwrite" property is set as true.
Is there any configuration to set to create new files/directories when upgrade?
Please see attached image for folder structure and configurations.
Folder : Settings
Thank you..

Hi @dammika ,
It is the limitation/rule of upgrade(Minor).If the file isn't versioned it won't overwrite if the modified time doesn't sync up properly.
You can try the following:
- Add the file entry you would like to update in RemoveFile table entry(Direct Editor->RemoveFile)
- Have file entry to be added as well
Which will remove the existing entry and will update new one.
Hope it helps,
Thanks,
Jenifer

I am also looking for a solution to create a new folder with files during *Minor Upgrade*
@Jenifer, you haven't answered how to create a new folder with files (without InstallScript)
Thanks
Unni
