Permanent File - not working

[Tinus]

Hi,
I created a setup with IA 6.0 and set the Copy Options of my database file to
Permanent File - do not remove on uninstallation (I also set never overwrite and file is vital for installation).

The file IS removed on uninstallation! Please help.

Do you have any database scripts, or other setup commands that may be deleting the file?

I set this flag on a file, and it remained after uninstallation.

I also set the additional flags you specified, and it worked fine again...

No I haven't used any scripts,
it's a simple Access DB file in the OFFLINE CONTENT section:

Code: Select all

  Install Files c:\\path\\mydb.mdb to $TARGETDIR$ (Permanent, Never Overwrite)


But: I add read/write file permission for Everyone after Apply Install:

Code: Select all

  Set Read Write Permissions on File System Object "$TARGETDIR$\\mydb.mdb" for Everyone


That's all I do with this file.

I removed the set permissions action - now it was working.
I then added the set permission action - and it's still working.

I don't know what happend. I haven't changed anything since yesterday.
