Accessing support files during mnaintenance installation
I have successfully added a support file to an Installscript MSI project and seen the installation work for a new install. N.B. compressed setup.exe
Is it possible to re-access support files during maintenance installs ?
i.e. when a user choses to 'change' an installed product to add a new feature.
I'm guessing the answer is going to be no because i can see no mechanism to retrieve the support file from the original setup.exe or to place the support file with a cached msi file and re-access it.
But it would be excellent if there were a way to do it !
Files contained in the Support Files view of your project should be available during maintenance unless they were added to the Advanced Files | Disk1 files in the Support Files view. Files in Disk1 are more "setup" files than they are support files and will likely be unavailable during maintenance unless they are available in a known location accessible to the setup.
