Installer will copy a file to APPDIR before Starting Installing

Sun Dec 02, 2018 6:25 am

Hi,

My installer first uninstalls the previous version, but immediately it will install a one the package files into the previous APPDIR and then the installer UI will pop up and the user can select next etc...

I tried to remove that specific file and then re-add to the package but the problem still exists.

Why a file is installing before user decide to install the package or not?

Hi,

This may happen if there is a file in your package that is set to be preserved or to create a backup during the upgrade. For example, a file is preserved on upgrade if the "Do not overwrite existing file" option is set for it in the "Operation" tab of its properties. Can you check this?

If this is not the case, please send me the .AIP (project file) and a verbose log of the upgrade along with the name of that file to support at advancedinstaller dot com, so I can investigate them?
