Not removing certain files at uninstall

Hi, is there a way to not remove some configuration files at uninstall? Thanks.

And also, it seems if the new install does not have some old files the old install has, these files will not be removed after uninstalling the product using the new install. Is there a way to remove these old files? Thanks again.

You can use the RemoveFile table accessible via the direct editor.

For instructions on preventing files from being removed during an uninstallation, see the following:
