Thank you very much for your reply. I am sorry to bother you but it is not quite obvious to me how to alter installer's behaviors. My code does check for upgrade and set certain property if it is upgrade but I just do not know how to pass this value to actions/UIs.
For instance, I have a code that removes files at uninstall. <RemoveFile Id='TopFiles' Name='*' On='uninstall'/> But I am not sure how I can alter the behavior so it does not remove files during upgrade. Another question is that I want to skip some UIs if it is upgrade but it's not again clear to me how I can pass upgrade information. I know this sounds quite trivial but I could not find answers on the web. I will really appreciate it if you could show me some examples on these. Thank you very much.
