InstallShield deleting users files and folders
My install program installs the following folders
C:\My App
C:\My App\Config
The Config folder is a component and has set the Permanent flag set to Yes, it also has the Never Overwrite flag set to Yes
If a user adds a new folder say Backup under the C:\My App\Config folder, when the user uninstalls the program it deletes Backup folder and all of the contents.
How do I prevent InstallShield deleting users files?
Thanks
