Avoid existing files being overwritten when newer version is installed.
- by constant learner
Hello
I have a VS2008 windows application project (WinProject) which is deployed by the installation project (InstallationProject) which inturn has the property RemovePreviousVersions set to True.
In my app for each configuration made by an user, the winapp writes the configurations into an xml file (stored in C:\Application Name\Files\ folder) which also includes the path where the config was saved.
Now when I build new versions of the installer,This folder and the files are overwritten since i the flag AlwaysCreate is set to True.
My question is how can i avoid these older files from being overwritten and at the same time shall get the updated file from the installer.
Ex: Contents of the file
<PriceFiles>
<Name>arr</Name>
<Path>C:\NewTool\arr.xml</Path>
<UserDefined>true</UserDefined>
</PriceFiles>
<ReferenceProjects>
<Name>studio</Name>
<Path>C:\NewTool\ReferenceProjects\6cd3a9e9-ad65-475e-953b-128915a496cd.xml</Path>
<UserDefined>true</UserDefined>
<CreatedBy>Admin</CreatedBy>
</ReferenceProjects>
Thanks in advance
