Need to not overwrite a file with Wise Installer


I create the installer for my application with Wise Installation Express 7.0. In my installation there is a file that holds user names and passwords. It needs to be installed/uninstalled when the application is installed or uninstalled. When the application is upgraded, though, that file needs to NOT be overwritten. How can I do that with Wise? Thanks.


Solution

  • Hope you solved this in a timely manner, but for others' sake:

    In the Setup Editor tab, define a Component that represents your file, specifying its directory and its file name in the KeyPath.

    Right-click to specify Details, and check the Leave Installed on Uninstall checkbox.
