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 @Dammikadw ,

 

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
