[WiX-users] Upgrading old installer
So I have created a nice new installer using WiX for my customer complete with nice shiny new custom bootstrapper and everyone was happy. Rejoicing in the death of their old buggy Visual Studio based installer. However I have struck a problem. There are a number of user configurable config files installed (yes I know bad idea but I had to work with this). The Component attribute is set to 144 for them which is the Permanent and NeverOverwrite. So all is fine except I upgrade the old installer (same upgradecode). So the process goes. 1.MSI sees they are there leave them alone 2.MSI Installs files. 3. Now it uninstalls using the logic of the old installer the config files have not changed (I’m guess in real life that would be odd but possible). So it uninstalls them because there was no logic to keep them in the old installer. Now I could use a new upgrade code and leave the old installer there but their is a danger then someone will manual uninstall it. (They probably would) I could use a custom action to copy the files then copy them back but that seems messy. Anyone had the same problem Thanks in advance.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix License
Anil Yes. You are not giving anybody WiX you are giving them the result. In the same way that it makes no difference what tool you use to create an EXE or a DLL. I had a few of my customers confused by the fact that we were using an open source tool but the key word is tool. The result of that tool (especially if you are just creating MSI's is the same as if you had used any commercial tool. To put your mind and ease Apple, IBM, Twitter, and the 15 or so companies I have worked with and thousands of others all use WiX to create their installers.
