How to safely reorganize files in an InstallShield project
We need to re-organize files in features and features in components for a product that is already used by many customers. Is it possible to do it so that the update does not stop working?
Thank you very much.

A Minor Upgrade would not support a reorganization like that as it it doesn't support the removal of components from features or the removal of Features themselves.
You would need to create a Major Upgrade which would be able to handle this type of change:

Thank you very much for your quick replay!
It says " ... create a major upgrade for ... InstallScript MSI project". Does it work for InstallScript project, too?
Thanks again.
