Deletion of Old Files

Hi

In creating an update package, I am installing new files into a directory that contains a lot of really old defunct files. Is there any way I can get advancedinstaller to delete all or specific files that aren't in the latest update?

Thanks
Catalin

Re: Deletion of Old Files

Hello and welcome to our forums,

First of all, sorry for the delayed reply.

Windows Installer supports major application upgrades. A major upgrade is essentially the removal of an older product which is replaced by a newer product. In Advanced Installer the upgrades can be configured from the "Upgrades" page, under "Product Information" group.

For more information about major upgrades, please have a look on our "Windows Installer Upgrades" article.

If there is anything else I can help you with, do not hesitate to contact me and I'll gladly assist.

Kind regards,
Catalin
