Dynamically Linked Help
Project Type: InstallScript MSI
We've discovered one little glitch in our update process. We have a dynamically linked folder whose contents change from one build to the next. It's a web site directory and we have a ClickOnce client application whose directory changes with each build (the directory name includes the build number). When we go from build 20 to build 21, the directory name changes from 10_0_0_20 to 10_0_0_21 and the new directory is not created but the old one is left in place. How can we get around this and/or fix this problem without having to perform a major upgrade on every build?

Minor upgrades will not remove old files\folders. You will have delete them using DeleteDir().

Thanks for the reply. I can get the version number of the installed package from our registry hive to figure out the directory name to delete.
