Hi,

I have defined a component to cleanup a generated (not part of msi) file on
uninstall but leave intact on a major upgrade after reading this post
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/488620/wix-major-upgrade

<Component Id="C_RemoveOnUninstall" Guid="XXX">
  <Condition>REMOVE="ALL" AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</Condition>
  <RemoveFile Id="DeleteGeneratedFile" Name="ProgramGeneratedFile"
On="uninstall"/>

</Component>

With condition above, the file is left behind for both upgrade and
uninstall.

Without the condition, the file is deleted for both upgrade and uninstall.

I have tried RemoveFile for each configuration of
On="install/uninstall/both" but it does not seem to matter.

Am I approaching this correctly?

I know I could mitigate the issue by keeping generated files in a different
location than installed files, but the requirement is still the same -
preserve on upgrade, delete on uninstall.


Thanks,
Sameer
