Visual Studio installshield - How to prevent files to be removed during uninstall / over-write during install
How can i prevent the files from being removed during the installshield uninstallation and prevent the file from being overwritten if it exists during during installation.
I found this excerpt in another post however, i can't seem to find it for InstallshieldLite visual studio 2017. Can anyone help me?
For InstallScript projects:
To prevent the files in a particular Component from being removed during uninstall:
- Select the Components view from within the Organization folder.
- Select the component that contains the files you do not wish to remove during uninstall.
- Change the "Uninstall" property in the right pane to a value of "No."
For MSI Projects:
To prevent the files in a particular Component from being removed during uninstall:
- Select the Components view from within the Organization folder.
- Select the component that contains the files you do not wish to remove during uninstall.
- Change the "Permanent" property in the right pane to a value of "Yes".
