Installshield Deletefile
I've been playing around with how I want to setup my upgrades for an application install I'm creating using Installshield, using basic MSI projects.I don't support any additional features/components and most of the upgrades will just be files/folders being added/removed from the default component.I seem to be having difficulty in removing files/folders when creating an upgrade. I create my upgrade by copy/pasting the original setup.ism (i.e Version 1 of my install), so that I have all the files/folders of the original install, and then I just add/remove any changes. Is this correct?
Or should the upgrade.ism only contain newly added/removed files folders?I first tried a Minor upgrade. I figured out how to remove files (right click - delete, and then add an entry to the RemoveFiles editor), but I haven't figured out how to remove folders. I don't want to have to manually add each file to the RemoveFiles table as there is likely to be hundreds of them. How can I have an upgrade remove a folder and all its children?I've also tried the Major upgrade, which is very easy as I don't have to worry about removing files/folders due to it uninstalling first. But then I don't get the dialog that informs the user that it is actually an upgrade. Saw ii flesh and blood pc torrent.

You can use your Action property defined in the UpgradeTable to detect if a major upgrade is occurring a present different UI elements to your user.Most people will never need minor upgrades and/or patches. For most applications the major upgrade is the simplest approach to maintain and the downside of shipping the entire package is minimal. It's only for really large installers shipped to thousands or millions of customers this becomes an issue.To remove a file during a minor upgrade you need to 'puncture' the component. You author it as transitive (InstallShield condition reevaluate=true) and give it an expression that always returns false. Checkout:Your approach of removing the component and authoring a rule in the RemoveFile table is incorrect. This breaks the component rules and reference counting.It's a good idea to learn how minor upgrades work and what you can and can't do but don't be surprised if you find yourself leaning on major upgrades more.
