Hello WiX community, This question is primarily addressed to the "patching gurus". :)
I have the following requirement. During the patch installation I should detect if the files to be patched were modified by the user, and if yes, install the new versions of those files side-by-side, disregarding the rule defined in the REINSTALLMODE property. Let me explain in detail. Initially (1.0.0) two files are installed: FileA.txt FileB.dll The user customized FileA.txt. The patch (1.0.0 rev. X) is to update both files. So, the desired result is: FileA.txt.patched (the one installed by the patch) FileA.txt (the initial one customized by user) FileB.dll (the new one installed by the patch) Is this a good practice? Are there any arguments against this concept? And the main question: what's the most correct way to accomplish this? Looking forward to any suggestions.
