Exclude files from uninstall

Postby Quest3012 » Mon May 24, 2021 1:08 am

Hi there,

During my installation I add database files (.mdf and .ldf) to the installation directory. I need these files to remain untouched when the program is uninstalled.

How can I achieve this without moving the files around?

Thanks in advance.

You may enable the "Permanent File" option with the Install Files command.
