Updater with particular scenario

Hello,
I succesfully builded an installer that creates a MSSQL database and creates a website (IIS).
Now I have to release a new installer with newer version and together with it release an update for previous.
Obviously I have to keep user's existing database and IIS configuration, while I have just to replace old website's content with new one.
I consigured updater but looks like that it wants to unistall previous version first, I honestly don't have idea where I stucked.
Any idea on how to acheive this would be appreciated.
Thanks, Giuseppe
Daniel

Hello Giuseppe,

In order to achieve what you wany you can take a look on the following threads which may be useful for you:
- Reinstalling dropping IIS settings
- Stopping a file overwrite...

Let us know if this helps, otherwise please give us more details about your scenario.

All the best,

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Actually I need exactly the opposite:
IIS settings should not be changed;
SQL should be not changed;
Only files inside a folder should be overwritten.
Thanks, Giuseppe

Hello Giuseppe,

I'm afraid I don't fully understand your scenario. Can you give us more details about your scenario (maybe exemplify)?

All the best,
