Merge module problem
I have created a merge module for our program files, which works and installs.
But when I upgrade the merge module to latest files and then go back to the ism file where it is used and do a new release.
When I run that new release then it doesn't upgrade the files, why?
Also when I try to uninstall the files it tells me its done, but then leaves the files behind, even though the permanant flag is set to NO.
If I delete or rename the folder where the files are, then re-run the latest release it copies the correct files in, what am I missing or doing incorrectly?
