Prevent remove/add Scheduled Task during Upgrade

Tue Dec 14, 2010 11:11 am

How can we prevent that a Scheduled Task is removed and added again during an upgrade.
Any settings that were changed by hand after the first install now are lost after an upgrade. :(

I noticed there is an Install Condition field, but where is the Uninstall Condition field for the Scheduled Task? :idea:

Hi,

I'm afraid that this is not supported by Advanced Installer. The scheduled task is always upgraded and all original settings are applied. A solution is to use custom actions to install and uninstall your scheduled task.
