Service exe getting deleted during uninstallation

[shawshank]

I install a service and specify the exe to be installed along with it. It gets installed in the target folder. I do not want the service to get uninstalled but during uninstallation, service remains as it is and its exe gets deleted. How do I prevent the service exe getting deleted ?

I am using Install Aware version 6.15

Mark the files as permanent.
