Re: [WiX-users] Preservation of .net settings?
Thanks for the quick reply. This does exactly what I wanted. After testing it
out, I have another question. After the upgrade, the old settings file is still
there. How do I remove the folder and the settings file for the last version?
Also, is it possible to remove the settings folder in the user's $APPDATA%
folder on an uninstall, but not when doing an upgrade?
Thanks,
Ryan

The Settings class has an Upgrade method that grabs the previous
settings. Make sure you add your own setting SettingsUpdateRequired that
is defaultly set to true, otherwise this will overwrite your settings
each time you start your program.
static class Program
{
/// summary
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// /summary
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
// Get the settings from a previous version if we can
if (Properties.Settings.Default.SettingsUpdateRequired)
{
Properties.Settings.Default.Upgrade();
Properties.Settings.Default.SettingsUpdateRequired =
false;
}
Application.Run(new MainForm());
}
}
