Installation New/Updated Files Components

I have created an installer that installs my application and USB drivers. However, when I perform an install for a new version of my application, I don't want to delete and reinstall the USB drivers unless the version of the USB drivers has changed. Does the Advanced Installer have a feature that will automatically check the installed version of various components/files and only delete and install those that are newer?

Regards,
Gordon

Re: Installation New/Updated Files Components

Hi,

I'm afraid that this is not supported by Windows Installer or by Advanced Installer. However you can try using Prerequisites:

- create a package only with the drivers.
- in the second package (application's package) you will add the first package as a prerequisite in the Software Prerequisites page.

Best regards,
Cristi
