Hi,

I have a .NET 3.5 Setup Package Project which installs my application successfully.

The setup package deploys a number (around 70) custom files for use from within the application.

From time to time I have the requirement of deleting some of these files, however upon restarting the executable, it automatically runs a portion of the Setup MSI again, and re-installs these files.

The only way I can achieve my desired result at the moment is to delete the files after starting the executable.

I have looked through the attributes on the files in the setup package such as Vital and PackageAs, however cannot seem to identify the required setting to achieve this.

Does anybody have any idea what is needed to acheive this ?

Much thanks
