Update database during installation

I searched the forum, but could not find exactly what I needed.

I have a VB.net program that uses an Access 2007 backend database. Currently, my installation overwrites the old database as replaces it with a new one. However, now, I can no longer do that. I must update keep the original database, but update it.

Does anyone have an example of how to do this with Advanced Installer Pro?

Thank you

Re: Update database during installation

Hello,

If you're looking to preserve the old database files during upgrade, here's the How do I prevent a file or registry entry from being uninstalled or repaired? article to help.

All the best,
